While the firm's imaging algorithms rapidly generate an accurate 3D image of the patient's knee, the suite of personalised restoration software allows integration of the image to implant through a process called the personalised restoration evaluation process (PREP).

Designed to enhance patient satisfaction along with the economic quality metrics, the restoration process is claimed to be rapid and efficient.
