The IT and medical-technology company Sectra has signed an agreement with
the US-based orthopedic implant manufacturer Synthes. Through this
agreement Sectra adds trauma templates to its orthopedic product offering in
the US.
Today, Sectra’s orthopedic solution includes approximately a total of 33,000 digital
templates from nearly 20 different orthopedic implant manufacturers among these DePuy,
Zimmer and Stryker. With Synthes’ 1,600 trauma templates Sectra will expand its
orthopedic offering to include an extensive selection of templates for the US trauma
market.
Sectra OrthoStation, with its fully integrated orthopedic planning package, includes
advanced image processing capabilities and a comprehensive set of guides for pre-operative
planning of hip and knee surgery. A comprehensive anatomy reposition tool brings
functionality to plan and template complex trauma cases with ease.
“This agreement with Synthes enables us to extend our product offering within orthopedics
to also meet the needs of trauma centers and emergency care hospitals, an important part of
the US orthopedic market, says Brian Anderson, vice president of marketing at Sectra
North America. “Trauma surgeons can leverage Sectra’s Orthopedic solution to preoperatively
plan for surgery by accessing a suite of automated tools and digital templates,
increasing the accuracy and speed of the pre-operative planning process,” he added.
Sectra’s contractual relationships with leading orthopedic vendors ensure that the Sectra
digital template library is continually upgraded with new and revised templates.
