SSIs are reported to impact orthopaedic patients, reducing their quality of life and hindering knee and hip arthroplasty procedures.
DePuy Synthes will showcase its Attune Knee System to improve patient functional outcomes, surgeon performance, provider efficacy, and the Corail Pinnacle Total Hip System for total hip replacement.
The knee system is devised to provide stability and motion of knee replacement, while the construct design of the hip system is expected to minimise revision risk and costs.
J&J Medical Devices EMEA company group chair Michelle Brennan said: “Our range of complementary technologies seek to address the need for standardisation and efficiencies in the operating room while mitigating the threat of surgical site infections, which can be an unexpected and traumatic event during a patient’s journey to recovery”.
