Think Surgical has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its TMINI miniature robotic system for use with Maxx Orthopedics’ Freedom total knee, Freedom Titan knee, and Freedom primary PCK systems.

The three knees were added to Think Surgical’s ID-HUB, a proprietary databank of implant modules for use with the open platform version of TMINI in the U.S. Think Surgical began the collaboration with Maxx Ortho earlier this year.

The Freedom total and Titan knees have a multi-radius design to accommodate individual anatomy, which the company said can lead to improved alignment and positioning. They offer range of motion that can achieve flexion up to 155 degrees.

“Maxx Orthopedics believes in great partnerships and is excited surgeons will have the ability to perform robotic-assisted TKA procedures with our Freedom Total Knee System. Combining our knee solutions with the TMINI System, surgeons can choose from multiple implant options- standard materials to metal sensitivity solutions- and seamlessly perform conventional or robotic-assisted procedures,” said Ashesh Shah, CEO of Maxx Orthopedics.

“THINK Surgical is excited to offer the TMINI System for use with the Freedom Knee System. The open platform version of TMINI is now available with eight different knee designs from eight separate orthopedic companies offering surgeons the choice of single-radius, anatomic (multi-radius), and guided motion knees on a single robotic platform” said Stuart Simpson, president and CEO of THINK Surgical.

Earlier this week, Think Surgical’s TMINI robot earned FDA clearance for use with the LinkSymphoKnee from Waldemar Link.
