Pristyn Care Performs Surgeries With CUVIS Robotic System

Pristyn Care, a secondary care provider, has announced its entry into fully automatic robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgeries in Pune. Pristyn Care surgeons will leverage the CUVIS Joint Robotic System developed by South Korean giant Meril to perform some of the most highly complex procedures. 

The system uses AI, computer-assisted programs and robots to assist surgeons in performing knee replacement surgeries with precision and control. Pristyn Care has been adopting the latest medical technology to provide the best surgical care to the patients.

The CUVIS Joint Robotic system has been installed at Deccan Hardikar multi-speciality hospital in Pune. The system offers advanced 3D visualization and an intuitive control system, allowing Pristyn Care surgeons to achieve unprecedented accuracy and control. 

As a result, the system enables greater surgical outcomes, ensuring the best implant position with improved longevity, durability and minimal human errors. Moreover, it also helps the patient's faster recovery and early discharge from the hospital.

According to WHO, nearly 18 percent of women and 9.6 percent of men over 60 years suffer from Osteoarthritis worldwide. In India, Osteoarthritis is the second most common rheumatologic problem and affects more than 180 million people in India.

Commenting on the announcement, Dr Vaibhav Kapooor, Co-founder at Pristyn Care, said, "Joint pain due to rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis causes knee pain that affects people of all age groups. Many of our patients have complained of joint pain for years before deciding on surgery. In a highly complex procedure such as total knee replacement, the CUVIS robot helps surgeons perform the surgery without the scope of manual or miscalculated error and help patients get the best outcomes. Pristyn Care is poised to continue leading the efforts in the most advanced surgeries and setting new standards of excellence and innovation in healthcare."

Dr Saurabh V Giri, MBBS, MS, Orthopedic Surgeon at Pristyn Care, said, "Robotic-assisted technology has revolutionized the field of orthopaedics. With over 50K arthroplasty surgeries happening in Maharashtra every year, CUVIS comes as a game changer for the surgeons. It creates a 3-D image of the patient's knee, enabling implant placement with high accuracy. It also provides real-time feedback ensuring each implant is placed correctly. Many studies indicate that patients undergoing robotic-assisted vs traditional knee replacement experience lesser pain and a faster recovery. "
