MicroPort Orthopedics, a US-headquartered global medical devices company, announced the introduction of its flagship second-generation solution, the Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee in India. The innovative solution is designed to deliver superior flexion stability, anatomic motion, and wear-limiting design, replicating the natural stability and motion of the knee to allow superior patient outcomes after total knee replacement surgery.
The Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from surgeons and patients worldwide. The unique design has achieved outstanding clinical success worldwide, with a documented 98.8 per cent survivorship at 17 years and a 95 per cent patient satisfaction rate. With over 25 years of documented usage, MicroPort Orthopedics’ line of Medial-Pivot products has been used in over 1,000,000 cases in 70 countries worldwide.
Jonathan Chen, Chief International Business Officer said, "Our mission is to provide innovative and relevant medical solutions that improve patients' lives, and we are committed to making a positive impact in India."
MicroPort’s in-house international experts recently trained Indian surgeons across many cities with meticulously planned educational sessions and on-site support for surgeries through a professional team. This launch will now allow access for Indian patients to globally renowned cutting-edge technologies, addressing patient concerns like a feeling of instability while climbing up or down the stairs and overall discontent with the post-operative knee feeling unnatural.
"Nearly 50 million patients suffer from knee osteoarthritis in India, affecting their day-to-day chores and lifestyle. Our solutions have a long-established credible history of superior results globally and we are excited to introduce our patented inventive products and technologies to alleviate the aftermath of knee osteoarthritis in our patients," said Dr Mukesh Parmar, Director and General Manager for South Asia. "Our goal is to partner with Indian healthcare professionals and institutions to deliver the best possible outcomes for the patients," he further added.
With this focus on professional training for healthcare professionals, MicroPort Orthopedics actively provides the latest scientific insights and surgical techniques through its online to on-site platform called Joint Academy, which is a global initiative aimed at providing best-in-class medical education through international key opinion leaders.
