MicroPort Orthopedics has partnered with Osso VR, a virtual reality (VR) surgical training platform, to launch a VR training module for MicroPort Orthopedics' SuperPATH Hip Technique and Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee System. With the VR curriculum from Osso VR, surgeons can train and assess themselves on the intuitive workflow of the procedure at their own pace, allowing them to gain proficiency in these techniques.
“We’re committed to improving outcomes for patients through democratized access to high value systems like SuperPATH and Evolution,” said Justin Barad, MD, Co-Founder and CEO of Osso VR. “This partnership with MicroPort Orthopedics increases access to a wider library of surgical techniques while also supporting controlled, high-quality outcomes for patients.”
In addition, MicroPort Orthopedics has expanded its global Medical Education services through a recently developed program utilizing regional Centers of Excellence to deliver a holistic approach to education and training. These key locations, hosted by a local surgeon expert, provide an extensive learning pathway for surgeons to be educated on key MicroPort products, programs and technologies. This learning pathway includes: educational presentations, online learning, virtual reality training, in-person cadaveric labs and mentor opportunities with the global surgeon faculty. Key facilities are strategically located across North America, with more locations in development around the world. This program launched in late February of 2021, when Dr. Andrew Ajluni hosted the first Center of Excellence event at Premiere ASC in Troy, Michigan, leading a successful educational lab about MicroPort Orthopedics’ latest tissue sparing portal-assisted hip approach, Anterior Path.
“With innovative solutions such as the Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee, and our tissue sparing surgical techniques such as SuperPath and Anterior Path, we're on the verge of a massive paradigm shift in orthopedic procedures that help patients achieve full functionality and recover faster,” said Benny Hagag, President and CEO of MicroPort Orthopedics. “We're striving to remove any barriers to adopting innovative techniques that can achieve better outcomes for patients, and partnerships are a significant element to this goal.”
