Osso VR recently demonstrated its virtual reality training module for Smith & Nephew’s NAVIO Surgical System, giving surgeons the ability for immersive coaching for a robotics-assisted device.

The combination of handheld robotics and VR are emerging technologies in medicine, the company said, leading to rapidly advancing changes in areas like surgery, to provide repeatable and efficient, high quality outcomes. The company demonstrated its system at the recent American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2019 Annual Meeting.

“NAVIO is a natural fit for virtual training and assessment as it involves robotics-assisted surgical steps coupled with a novel software interface, and Osso VR has demonstrated success instilling confidence in the technology of similar procedures,” said Justin Barad, M.D., the CEO of Osso VR.”As this technology becomes increasingly powerful and pervasive, we plan to continue to support its growth through a growing curriculum of virtual training.  Smith & Nephew is the perfect partner for this groundbreaking approach given their dedication towards innovation and helping patients live life unlimited.”

“Smith & Nephew offers the largest knee portfolio enabled by robotics, and is the only company who offers the accuracy of robotics-assisted technology for bi-cruciate retaining total knee implant (JOURNEY II XR),” the company said in a statement. The NAVIO Surgical System is a next-generation handheld robotics platform that provides high levels of accuracy in an easily expandable robotics platform. Smith & Nephew said the NAVIO system eliminates time, costs, and radiation exposure associated with preoperative CT imaging compared with other robotics-assisted platforms, “allowing for real-time imaging in surgery to build a patient-specific 3D model.”

Osso VR’s validated training platform is designed for surgeons, sales teams and other trainees to address new techniques and increase confidence through learning for new medical devices. The technology provides realistic, haptic-enhanced interactions in an immersive training environment. The company’s surgical training technology provides on-demand, educational experiences that are effective, repeatable, and measurable to help the surgeon reach proficiency with the device.
