Corin's Unity Knee Medial Constrained Tibial Insert Receives FDA Clearance for TKA
Key Insights
Corin has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Unity Knee medial constrained tibial insert, designed for both standard and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (search) (TKA).
The Unity Knee MC insert is compatible with Corin's ApolloKnee (search) robotic platform, allowing surgeons to stabilize the medial compartment during TKA procedures.
According to Corin, the new insert aims to enhance joint kinematics and stability, potentially providing patients with a more natural feeling knee following TKA.
Corin announced FDA 510(k) clearance of its Unity Knee medial constrained (MC) tibial insert for total knee arthroplasty (search) (TKA), offering surgeons a new option for both standard and robotic-assisted procedures. The insert is designed to be compatible with Corin's ApolloKnee (search) robotic platform.
The Unity Knee MC tibial insert allows surgeons to independently stabilize the medial compartment during TKA. According to the company, this can be achieved in both standard and robotic procedures. Christopher Plaskos, PhD, Vice President of Global Clinical Innovation at Corin, stated, "Studies have demonstrated that a balanced joint has a greater impact on total knee replacement outcomes than component alignment alone. Combining Unity Knee MC with the robotic soft tissue balancing capabilities of ApolloKnee (search), a new level of natural joint kinematics and stability can be achieved throughout the range of motion. We believe this will provide patients with a more natural feeling knee."
The Unity Knee MC tibial insert is currently available through a limited market release in the U.S.
