Restor3d, a 3D-printed orthopedic implant manufacturer, announced the market release of the Kinos Range, an articulating surface to the Kinos Total Ankle System family.
The company explains that this new offering of vitamin E crosslinked polyethylene & 3D-printed cobalt chrome implants allows surgeons to assess soft tissue integrity intraoperatively and tailor the resulting articulation to meet each patient’s needs.
The system introduces a modular trialing system that enables the Kinos Anatomic tri-planar range of motion and the more restrained range articulation to be assessed during surgery.
The senior VP of Product Development at restor3d, Brian Garvey stated “The continued advancements within the Kinos Total Ankle System are driven by extensive biomechanics research and our commitment to offering surgeons a market-leading portfolio for patient-specific care. The intraoperative decision-making capabilities of this system are facilitated by a modular trialing system that enables both articulations to be assessed through the patient’s range of motion while dialing in the placement of the definitive implant. Every patient presents with unique factors, and we work to accommodate them all in a personalized manner. This new option in selecting patient-specific articulation is the foundation for our forthcoming revision and fully personalized ankle implant systems.”
This flexibility helps enhance stability, optimize biomechanics, and reduce contact stress compared to traditional implants. Listen to restor3D in the latest Additive Talks session: Key differences between polymer and metal 3D-printed implants
