Personalised Guides

Virtual Planning Meets Clinical Results

Zimmer Biomet’s Personalised Guide Systems provide interactive, 3D pre-operative planning software and intra-operative guides that assist surgeons in the precise positioning of knee implants.

  • Patient imaging is used to generate a 3D virtual model for an unobstructed view of critical anatomic landmarks
  • Interactive, 3D virtual surgeon planning enhances visualisation of patient anatomy and implant position
  • Virtual planning attributes are embodied in patient specific, 3D printed guides
  • The use of interactive planning and patient specific guides streamline the surgical workflow
  • Technology is a significant driver for patients to undergo total joint replacement surgery1
  • Studies have demonstrated better accuracy and clinical outcomes through the use of Patient Specific Guides2-6

Our Patient Specific Guide offerings are compatible with a broad range of Zimmer Biomet Knee Implants and multiple imaging modalities. Talk to your Zimmer Biomet Representative, or visit our Personalized Solutions Portal to learn more.
