Optimized Positioning System OPS™

About the project
It is vital during total hip replacement surgery that the implant hardware is aligned correctly to limit the possibility of later complications. Every patient has a unique pelvic motion and Optimized Ortho developed dynamic modelling technology which provides pre-surgical information on the patient’s predicted biomechanics.
Optimized Ortho engaged Park Industrial to enable the second stage of their implant positioning system. We created surgical guides uniquely shaped to match the pelvis of each patient that were derived from X-ray and CT scan data. These guides are then fabricated from the latest 3D printing techniques using biocompatible materials.
Park Industrial developed an automated system of guide design that was created using Python scripts and the Solidworks API. This helped to realise the commercial viability of the technology.
