Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), the global medical technology
company, today announces promising surgeon feedback from the first
completed cases utilizing its new CATALYSTEM Primary Hip System.
Designed to address the evolving demands of primary hip surgery -
including the increased adoption of anterior approach procedures –
the CATALYSTEM Primary Hip System features a triple-taper stem
design with uniform proximal loading.1 The reduced distal
stem geometry and shorter lengths are ideal for anterior approach
but suitable for all approaches.2
The first surgical procedures using the CATALYSTEM Primary Hip
System were completed last week in the United States by three
prominent orthopaedic surgeons who commented on their experience
utilizing the system for the first time.
“Smith+Nephew’s new CATALYSTEM Primary Hip System with RI.HIP
NAVIGATION represents the beginning of a new era combining advanced
technology and patient personalization that will, without doubt,
enhance patient outcomes,” said Dr. Thorsten Seyler of Duke
University.
The CATALYSTEM Primary Hip System also utilizes proprietary,
patent-pending, ACCUBROACH◊ Technology delivering
proven reproducibility between broach and implant giving confidence
in predictable and reproducible stem seating.3,4
“The instruments were exceptionally user-friendly and ideal for
the direct anterior approach,” commented George Haidukewych MD,
Orlando Health, Orlando, Florida. “The broaches showed a
significant improvement in performance, offering superior cutting
and a more precise feel for rotational stability. In comparison to
other implants I've used in recent years, these stand out as
markedly better. Overall A-plus…it could not have gone better.”
Dr. Ran Schwarzkopf, Orthopedic Adult Hip and Knee
Reconstruction Surgeon at NYU Langone Health commented, "The case
went smoothly and exceeded all my expectations. It's the best
anatomically fitting stem I've ever seen - it fit the patient's
anatomy perfectly. The advantage of the broaches giving exact
stem-to-broach positioning is unmatched in the industry.”
