GE Partners with Smith & Nephew on Surgical Navigation

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 19 Feb 2003
An agreement to jointly develop and distribute new software and instruments for surgical navigation has been announced by GE Medical Systems (Waukesha, WI, USA) and Smith & Nephew Orthopedics (Memphis, TN, USA). More...


The two companies plan to develop and distribute software and instruments that will operate on GE's surgical navigation systems for performing computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for trauma and orthopedic reconstruction. GE develops and markets surgical navigation systems used in ear, nose, throat, cranial, spinal, and orthopedic procedures. Both companies will be investing in software and instrumentation development and by working with surgeons will attempt to accelerate advances in surgical navigation.

"This agreement with Smith & Nephew exemplifies GE's commitment to serving the growing areas of minimally invasive and computer assisted surgery,” said Karim Karti, general manager, navigation and visualization, GE Medical Systems. "These procedures are playing an increasingly important role in patient care because of the significant benefits associated with smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and overall faster recovery times.”
