With ROSA Knee, surgeons are able to objectively measure soft tissue feedback and virtually conduct a knee replacement before performing any resections.
• In the Planning screen, surgeons receive live feedback of soft tissues, femoral
rotation and ligament tension.
• Dynamic patient data throughout the range of motion.
• Live cut values ensure resections remain on plane
A Global Survey - Faster, Safer, Less Painful.
"In a 2016 global survey assessing public perceptions about robotic-assisted surgery, 72% of respondents indicated robotic-assisted surgery was safer, faster and less painful or offered better results than minimally invasive conventional surgery".
