International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra expanded its pre-operative planning solution for orthopedic trauma cases with 3D templates from Smith+Nephew. Extending the range of templates in Sectra’s solution supports a broader adoption of digital pre-operative planning, an enabler of patient-specific treatments, which supports operational efficiency and patient outcomes.
Sectra’s 3D pre-operative planning solution for trauma enables the visualization of fractures in an interactive 3D environment. Digital preparation can minimize the risk of surprises and stress during surgery and shorten O.R. time. Additionally, it reduces the number of prostheses that need to be prepared ahead of surgery.
“By incorporating a broad range of implants, we can greatly enhance the planning process for a large portion of our product’s users. With this expansion, our 3D template library now covers nearly 80% of the orthopaedic trauma market. I’m proud to offer a solution that supports and advances pre-operative planning for surgeons, ultimately improving the overall patient experience,” says Gustaf Schwang, President of Sectra Orthopaedics AB.
