Overview

The CORI Surgical System is a handheld robotic platform for orthopaedic surgery, primarily knee and hip arthroplasty. It features image-free smart mapping to build 3D models of the joint in surgery without CT/MRI scans, real-time planning for personalized surgery, handheld precision milling, and intra-operative gap balancing. The system uses Real Intelligence software and supports total knee, partial knee, revision knee, and total hip procedures, as well as data management via RI.INSIGHTS. It is designed for a small operating room footprint and offers a data management system for procedural reports via RI.INSIGHTS. The system uses Real Intelligence software to offer broad capabilities and an expanding range of joint reconstruction indications.

Flagship features

  • Personalizes both anatomic and reverse shoulder cases using CORIOGRAPH planning software
  • Incorporates scapular thoracic (ST) motion data and activities of daily living (ADL) data into pre-operative planning
  • Uses handheld robotics for humerus and glenoid preparation; described as 'handheld robotics that seamlessly integrate with current workflow'
  • 'CORI XT Handheld Robotics Platform' is the latest advancement
  • Designed for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs)
  • Clinical evidence mentioned: n=10 cadaver/simulated bone study, n=16 surgeon opinions following cadaver labs
