XpandOrtho

XpandOrtho is a medical technology company that develops smart orthopedic devices to enhance the precision of joint replacement procedures. The company's primary innovation is an electronic, sensor-enabled knee spacer used during total knee arthroplasty to provide surgeons with real-time data on soft tissue balancing. This wireless system measures intra-articular pressure across the full range of motion, allowing for more accurate ligament adjustments than traditional manual methods. By improving the balance of the knee joint, the technology aims to reduce post-operative pain and increase the lifespan of the prosthetic implant. XpandOrtho's technology was integrated into Zimmer Biomet's portfolio following its acquisition in 2018. The device received FDA 510(k) clearance and represents a significant advancement in the digitization of orthopedic surgery.
