EOS imaging subsidiary OneFit Medical's personalized instruments now used in eight countries


 

PARIS — EOS imaging (Euronext Paris, FR0011191766 - EOSI), the pioneer in orthopedic 2D/3D imaging, announced today that usage of its customized, 3D-printed surgical cutting blocks has begun for knee surgeries in Australia. The patient specific cutting blocks, developed and manufactured by EOS imaging subsidiary OneFit Medical, had been until now used for surgeries in seven European countries.

 

The 3D cutting blocks engineered by OneFit Medical are designed to

match the individual patient's anatomy to help surgeons perform fast,

precise knee replacement surgeries. OneFit Medical's cutting blocks are

currently developed using MRI and CT images and sold to implant

manufacturers, within agreements that include today 20 implant

manufacturers. The Company is exploring the development of improved

instruments utilizing EOS images.

 

EOS imaging and OneFit Medical are developing additional EOS-based

solutions, such as hipEOS which was granted CE mark last March for hip

replacement surgery. hipEOS, the first offering of a software portfolio

associated with the EOS imaging system, will be deployed later this

year in Europe as an online service to assist surgeons in hip

prosthesis selection and placement simulation based on 3D images

generated by the EOS system.

 

Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, "Building on robust

international sales of our EOS imaging system, the consumable product

offerings generated by OneFit will provide an additional revenue stream

for the Company besides equipment purchases and service fees. We look

forward to expanding our OneFit technology with hipEOS software and

other future applications."
