Orthopedics Sample Clauses

Orthopedics. The most relevant advantage related to the robot assistance in orthopedics is represented by an accurate and precise bone resection. The first robot used in this field – in 1992 for a total hip replacement – was Robodoc (Curexo Technology Corp, originally by Integrated Surgical Systems), which received the CE marking (1996), and FDA clearance for total hip replacement (1998) and total knee replacement (2009). The Robodoc system is constituted by two components: Orthodoc, a 3-dimensional surgical planner, and the Robodoc surgical assistant, the robot employed for hip replacement intervention. A direct competitor of Robodoc, although no longer for sale, was Caspar, a robotic system for knee and hip surgery, launched in 1997 by OrtoMaquet. In 2008, the Rio robotic arm (Mako Surgical Corp, previous generation called the Tactile Guidance System) was released and received FDA clearance; the Rio is used for implantation of medial and lateral unicondylar knee components, as well as for patellofemoral arthroplasty. It is worth to observe that robotic arm of Rio already offers a tactile feedback to the surgeon. iBlock (Praxim Inc., an Orthopaedic Synergy Inc. company, previous generation the Praxiteles, FDA clearance 2010) is an automated cutting guide for total knee replacement mounted directly to the bone, in order to reduce the robotic influence on the cutting instrument. The Navio PFS (Blue Belt Technologies, CE xxxx 2012) does not require a computed tomography scan for unicondylar knee replacement, instead using an intraoperative planning. The Stanmore Sculptor (Stanmore Implants, previous generation the Acrobot Sculptor by Acrobot Company Ltd.) is a synergistic system similar to the RIO, with active constraints to keep the surgeon in the planned workspace; this system received FDA clearance in 2013.

Orthopedics. The Parties recognize that the need for comprehensive surgical and non-surgical orthopedics care is expected to grow in correlation with the aging of New Hampshire’s population and agree to integrate their respective orthopedic capabilities in order to offer a full range of inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory services to patients throughout the System’s service areas. D-HH orthopedics and sports medicine specialists and sub-specialists provide advanced adult and pediatric medical and/or surgical care for the full spectrum of orthopedic-related conditions and injuries, including hip and knee joint replacement, foot and ankle, shoulder and elbow, and hand and wrist, among others. They also provide orthopedic services for patients who require multi-disciplinary, specialty and sub-specialty care for spine, trauma and oncological conditions, among others. CMC has developed a dedicated inpatient orthopedics unit which provides more complex orthopedic services in collaboration with independent, community-based physicians, who will continue to be an integral component of the System’s coordinated patient care and pluralistic physician model. HH and MCH provide routine orthopedic care but face mounting physician and associate provider workforce challenges that threaten their ability to meet community needs. The Parties agree that the combination of their complementary resources will enable the System to allocate those resources appropriately and optimize capacity to serve the needs of its patients. The System will deploy specialists and sub-specialists to CMC’s inpatient orthopedic unit to expand access to complex orthopedic procedures like joint replacement and revision surgery for patients in southern New Hampshire, more than 1,000 of whom annually seek inpatient orthopedic care out-of-state or at DHMC, which, due to capacity constraints, is forced to deny admission to hundreds of orthopedic patients annually. Additionally, the System will proactively manage the transition of appropriate inpatient procedures to the hospital outpatient setting and utilize the System’s existing and planned ambulatory surgery center capacity in Manchester to expand access to the rapidly growing volume of orthopedic procedures performed in the less costly ambulatory setting, ensuring that patients receive the most acuity-appropriate, convenient and cost-effective care across the inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory care continuum. As referenced in Section 5.3.4(a) below, the Parties ...
