Enovis announced the commercial launch of ARVIS (Augmented Reality Visualization and Information System) with over 200 cases successfully completed in the U.S. This FDA-cleared system is reported to be the only proprietary, real-time, hands-free AR technology precisely engineered for orthopedic surgeons, to help visualize precision guidance when performing hip and knee surgery.
AR technology is a form of orthopedic surgical guidance technology that helps surgeons place and align implants during surgery. Unlike other traditional robotic systems that require additional staff, ARVIS is a self-contained, wearable surgical guidance device controlled by the surgeon that can either be worn on an ARVIS headband or compatible with the helmets already worn in surgery. ARVIS is designed to ensure that surgeons can focus on the patient – not a screen across the room – by empowering them with a hands-free view of the procedure.
“ARVIS was designed to provide surgeons with better information, more confidence and an enhanced surgical experience that integrates seamlessly into their procedural workflow without the need for obtrusive and unnecessary equipment,” said Louie Vogt, President and General Manager, Enovis Surgical. “ARVIS is significantly smaller, but powerful and precise, with a more economical price than large robotic systems. In turn, it can be adopted and scaled by a wide array of ambulatory surgical centers and hospitals, meaning more access to more patients wishing to experience the benefits of a technology-assisted knee or hip replacement.”
ARVIS AR Technology was acquired by Enovis subsidiary, DJO, as part of its acquisition of Insight Medical Systems on July 5, 2022. ARVIS is compatible with Enovis’ EMPOWR Hip and Knee product offerings including EMPOWR 3D, Porous and Partial Knee, EMPOWR Acetabular and Dual Mobility, along with compatible femoral stems.
