Smith+Nephew announced the launch of CORI? handheld robotics, an advanced system for both total and partial knee arthroplasties. The CORI system is a compact and fully mobile5 solution incorporating a 3-D intra-operative imaging system with an advanced robotic sculpting tool. The robotic system allows surgeons to measure, plan, and perform a knee surgery which is personalised to the patient's individual anatomy in theatre.?The Smith+Nephew system is considerably more compact6 than alternative robotic systems, has minimal set up time, and is so portable it can be moved from theatre to theatre to optimise flow of patients through surgical units. The CORI system is amongst the first technology to place the surgeon at the heart of the digital operating room. Surgeons can access the benefits of robotic surgery but still have full decision-making capability at each step of the operation. This system is the first of several launches in technology and software over the next five years, demonstrating Smith+Nephew's commitment to improve surgical experience through digital and technology innovation across the patient pathway.
