Conformis, Inc. Announces Clearance in Australia for iTotal® PS, the Only Personalized, Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Replacement System
The iTotal® PS total knee replacement system is designed so that its patient-specific implants fit the unique size and shape of each patient’s knee, and provide optimal stability throughout the full range of motion
BILLERICA, Mass., March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conformis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFMS) today announced the clearance of its patient-specific iTotal® PS total knee replacement system by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which is part of the Australian Department of Health, and which authorizes the marketing of medical devices and other healthcare products in Australia.

The iTotal® PS system, which launched in the United States in 2016, is designed to address the shortcomings of traditional, off-the-shelf knee replacements that are manufactured in limited sizes and shapes. iTotal® PS implants are specifically designed to restore the natural shape of each patient’s knee, and to avoid overhang, rotation, and sizing compromises associated with pain after surgery. Primary total knee implants are designed to either retain the patient’s own posterior cruciate ligament (cruciate-retaining, or CR), or substitute for it (posterior-stabilized, or PS). iTotal® PS implants use a customized cam and spine feature to serve the function of the posterior cruciate ligament and to provide optimal stability throughout the full range of motion.
