The implant is developed using imaging technology that creates a detailed 3-D map of your knee. 3-D printing technology is then used to create a precise wax mold of the implant, which is used to create the metal components of the implant.
All surgical instruments needed for the procedure are also 3-D printed and calibrated for use only with you. They are used once and then discarded, eliminating the need for repeat sterilization.
