VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution paves the way For next generation knee replacement surgery in Australia.- DePuy Synthes/J&J.

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is indicated for use with the ATTUNE Knee System for total knee arthroplasty.

Dr. Matt Lyons, orthopaedic surgeon at The Mater Hospital Sydney, said, “Our surgical team has been anticipating the arrival of the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution at the Mater since it first gained approval in Australia. Being able to plan patient-specific surgery tailored to each patient’s individual anatomy with the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution lets us visualise and predict joint stability to support optimal patient outcomes.”

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is a first-of-its-kind operating table mounted solution that adapts to the surgeon’s workflow. It utilises advanced planning capabilities, proprietary technology, and a next generation design to help surgeons accurately resect bones that align and position the implant relative to the soft-tissue during total knee replacement without the need for pre-operative imaging. The efficient and compact design integrates into any operating room and does so with a much smaller footprint, at less than half the size of some other robotic-assisted solutions.

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution provides: i. Valuable Insights: Gap balance data designed to help surgeons visualise and predict joint stability. ii. Versatile Execution: Intuitive, integrated design intended to give surgeons the control they’re used to while optimising daily OR flow. iii.Verified Performance: Designed to provide accurate, consistent plan execution supporting the ATTUNE Knee in providing better patient outcomes.

The arrival of the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution at the Mater Sydney is accompanied by the Johnson & Johnson Institute’s first-of-its-kind in Australia Mobile Training Lab, which made training even more accessible to the Mater’s surgical team. The VELYS Mobile Lab provides on-site access to next-generation hands-on training, virtual reality-based operating environments, and real-time collaboration with the global surgical community, all of which is designed to equip the Mater’s orthopaedic surgeons to be proficient with the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution.

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is part of the broader VELYS Digital Surgery Platform of connected technologies powered by data insights and designed to elevate the orthopaedic experience for patients, surgeons, and their teams across the entire continuum of care, from pre-operative to post-operative.
