Pixee - Model Knee+ - Augmented Reality Navigation Device for Total Knee Arthroplasty
A simple solution: Knee+ is used during total knee arthroplasty operations, it offers the orthopaedic surgeons an intraoperative assistance for the implant positioning with the help of augmented reality glasses. The cutting planes are oriented with respect to the patient mechanical axes calculated according to anatomical landmarks acquired with a pointe.
- Reduced MIS Instrumentation
- No intramedullary rod
- No percutaneous pins
- No disposable
- Imageless
- Affordable
The connected glasses precisely calculate the 3D coordinates of the instruments thanks to the analysis of their specific markers (QR-Code), filmed by the integrated camera. The navigation information is displayed in the surgeon’s field of vision, which interacts with the application thanks to the glasses’ accelerometers.
Innovative tracking
The use of a monocular camera in the visible field makes it possible to combine augmented reality and measurements with millimetric precision. Embedded in smart glasses worn by the surgeon, the camera circumvents line-of-sight issues and operating theatre congestion. Our solutions are also designed to be portable and can thus be used on any type of compatible platform.
Augmented reality
See through operative fields, skin and bones. Visualise and plan using 3D holograms. Superimpose real and digital 3D information on a virtual screen. Control and perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. These are just some of the technical ambitions behind our projects.
Simple, effective & economical
Pixee Medical devices incorporate state-of-the-art technical solutions to control the positioning of implants with no added user effort or cost. They do not require any consumables and their customisable profiles mean they can be adapted to surgeons’ needs.
High-performance instrumentation
Our reduced-size instrumentation complies with regulatory standards, is easy to use, and is MIS-compatible. Our instruments can be used without intramedullary rods and percutaneous fixations.
