A leading healthcare provider located in Bengaluru, Sakra World Hospital, which is also India’s FDI hospital, introduces advanced robotic knee replacement technology. This empowers the orthopaedic surgeons for planning the knee replacement prior to entering operation theatre.

Named CUVIS Joint, it is the world’s first entirely active robotic knee replacement system for knee replacement surgeries with higher accuracy, transparency and without any hassling. This assures better treatment and bliss for severe arthritis patients.

CUVIS is manufactured by Curexo, which is a South Korean firm, and is marketed and sold by Meril Healthcare in India.

CUVIS is known for its unique and autonomous functioning property. CUVIS Joint was launched by BS Yediyurappa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka, and Dr. Shivaraj Kumar, a popular Kannada film actor.

“I am happy to see that this new advanced robotic technology has been brought first time to India to help in treatment of people suffering from severe arthritis. I congratulate Sakra World Hospital and Dr Chandrashekar P on acquiring this technology and wish them good luck. I am sure that this will help the people in India and abroad, especially during the pandemic and social distancing. The minimal human intervention will make it a win-win situation for both the patients and healthcare providers,” stated BS Yediyurappa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka.

One of the country’s finest knee replacement surgeons, Dr. Chandrasekhar P, Senior Consultant & Head – Department of Orthopaedics, Sakra World Hospital, who has hands-on operation experience of 5,000 successful knee replacement surgeries, explained how CUVIS Joint will be transforming knee replacement surgeries. A renowned global opinion leaders for the development of CUVIS – fully active robotic system, said, “While using this robotic knee replacement technology, we first conduct a CT scan before the surgery. The images from the CT scan are loaded in the robotic software. The surgeon sits with the software and prepares the 3D anatomy of the patient’s knee joint and prepares the surgical plan that shows how the implantable knee would look like side to side, front to front and oblique direction. Even before the surgery starts, the planning is done. Once the surgeon enters the operation theatre, the CT landmarks are already loaded in this software and the surgery can be conducted smoothly. This robotic software allows three stage planning: pre-operative plan, plan during the procedure and post-operative plan which shows if the surgery has been done as per the plan and whether the same anatomy has been depicted and perfectly performed.”

“The impeccable precision of CUVIS Joint walks hand in hand with uncompromising dedication and flawless care and service offered by Sakra World Hospital. Inspired by the Japanese values and cutting-edge Japanese technology, Sakra has always lived up to spearheading technological advancements in global and Indian healthcare. With CUVIS Joint, we hope to offer optimum clinical outcome and garner maximum patient satisfaction,” said Dr Chandrashekhar’s words, Takashi Maki, Managing Director – Sakra World Hospital shared.

The entirely robotic CUVIS Joint helps in conducting joint replacement surgeries with precision, accuracy, and flexibility even with least human intervention. CUVIS offers maximum safety in addition.

CUVIS implements CT-Scan images for development of patient – specific 3D bone models and does the virtualization of joint replacement surgeries personalized for every individual patient.

CUVIS’s accuracy is stretched to sub-milli meter dimension, and it helps to get the post-surgery outcomes optimally. The benefits include avant-garde robotic technology for bringing lesser tissue trauma and associated injuries like blood loss. CUVIS offers faster recovery and gets a patient discharge early from hospital with best possible implant positioning maximum accuracy.

It further promises for implementation of CUVIS to people suffering from acute arthritis and provide them an active life like never before.
