From Image-to-Implant
Patients vary in more ways than gender, race, and size. At ConforMIS, we believe that optimizing implant fit and performance requires a patient-specific approach. Our image-to-implant process uses imaging data to create personalized devices designed to achieve precise fit, preserve bone and cartilage, and minimize surgical trauma.
The image-to-implant process begins when the patient receives a diagnostic CT or MR scan. After the scan, the center sends the data to ConforMIS via CD or secure internet file transfer. As a healthcare organization, we maintain policies and procedures consistent with HIPAA guidelines (view our HIPAA Compliance Statement).
Through our iFit technology, we generate a 3D model of the patient's knee and then map the anatomy of the patient's joint. Our technology creates an implant that is precisely matched to the patient's surface contours and anatomy. To learn more about our technology and the advantages of patient-specific implants, we invite you to explore our website.
