PMI® Patient-Matched Implants

Evolution of a Patient-Matched Implant

Through the union of technology and personal attention, surgeons and patients benefit from the most advanced orthopedic designs available.

  • 3-D reconstruction of CT image data
  • Translation of CT image to CAD/CAM environment
  • Computer controlled machining for dimensional precision
  • Patented design process for CT-generated implants
  • 3–4 week lead time upon design approval
  • Accelerated response for cases involving trauma and oncology

Step 1
3-D reconstruction of a typical acetabular revision

Step 2
Translation of CT data to a fused deposition modeler provides a true patient representation

Step 3
Anatomical model used to create an implant prototype
