AUDUBON, Pa., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company, today announced it recently received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ExcelsiusFlex™ with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) application. This new robotic navigation platform joins the already best-in-class Excelsius™ ecosystem, designed to offer surgeons control, resection accuracy, and procedural flexibility in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Additionally, ACTIFY™ 3D Total Knee System, the latest in implant technology that will pair with ExcelsiusFlex™, has also received 510(k) clearance.

ExcelsiusFlex™ is engineered to assist the surgeon in primary total knee arthroplasty procedures for robotically guided resections based on their implant placement planning. Multiple workflows and unrestricted jig-less resections are offered to restore control of the saw and the procedure to the surgeon. Streamlined user software is designed to enable efficient procedures.

The ACTIFY™ 3D Total Knee System is a contemporary total knee solution that is designed to pair cementless reconstruction with operative efficiency and anatomic fit. Whether through manual or robotic-assisted workflows, ACTIFY™ 3D is additive engineered to combine strength and a porous lattice interface conducive to cementless fixation. The system provides a comprehensive suite of implants and instruments to address individual surgeon preferences and varying anatomy in a diverse patient population.

“With the addition of ExcelsiusFlex™ and ACTIFY™ 3D, we look forward to introducing next generation robotic technology along with the next generation of implant technology to the orthopedic market,” commented Dan Scavilla, president and CEO of Globus Medical. “The precision, efficiency, and flexibility these systems offer will help to provide surgeons a best-in-class solution for treating patients.”

With 510(k) FDA clearances in hand, Globus Medical is ramping up production and preparing for commercial release in the near future.
