Enhatch is thrilled to announce the successful clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) pathway for its patient-specific instrumentation system designed for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This cutting-edge system, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), is reshaping the landscape of TKA by integrating anatomic model generation and treatment planning into its core functionalities. The AI algorithms efficiently transform patient X-rays or CT images into intricate 3D anatomic models, facilitating the creation of personalized surgical guides. The recent FDA clearance stands as a major achievement for Enhatch, signifying a leap forward in surgical precision and setting new standards for patient care.

The Intelligent Surgery Knee software is pivotal in simplifying preoperative planning and optimizing the creation of patient-specific guides with increased efficiency. By leveraging state-of-the-art AI for precise modeling and treatment planning, the system significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to conventional full knee CT scans. This not only prioritizes patient safety but also ensures the implementation of precise and tailored surgical strategies. The utilization of X-ray-based systems offers operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, given their wide accessibility and reimbursement in the U.S. healthcare system.

The Patient-Specific Instrumentation, manufactured, packaged, and distributed by 3D Systems, Enhatch's trusted manufacturing partner, ensures the prompt delivery of instrument kits to the point-of-care. Surgeons eager to incorporate AI technology into their surgical practices can reach out to Enhatch for detailed information.
