THINK Surgical Celebrates TMINI® System’s 1,000th Milestone

In a remarkable achievement for orthopedic surgery, THINK Surgical, Inc. has announced that its TMINI® Miniature Robotic System has successfully assisted in performing its 1,000th total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. This milestone highlights not only the growing adoption of the robotic system but also underscores THINK Surgical's commitment to enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.

The milestone surgery was performed by Dr. Adolph V. Lombardi Jr. of Joint Implant Surgeons, Inc., who expressed the significance of the TMINI system in his practice. "I perform the vast majority of my total knee replacement procedures in an Ambulatory Surgery Center, where space is at an ultimate premium. With the exclusive version of the TMINI Miniature Robotic System from Zimmer Biomet, I can use my implant of choice, Persona® Knee, to deliver a personalized solution for my patients," he stated.

The rapid achievement of this milestone comes swiftly after the company celebrated its 500th procedure, illustrating an accelerated adoption pace of the TMINI system across the United States. This growth has been significantly driven by THINK Surgical’s collaborative partnerships with industry leaders like Zimmer Biomet, among others. According to Stuart Simpson, President and CEO of THINK Surgical, about one-third of the cases performed thus far utilized the Zimmer Biomet TMINI Platform with the Persona Knee.

The Significance of Robotic Assistance in Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgeries are gaining traction in orthopedic medicine, as they offer enhanced precision, consistency, and potential for quicker recovery times. The TMINI Miniature Robotic System is a pioneering tool that simplifies surgical processes, enabling surgeons to perform knee replacements with greater accuracy. The system's handheld design is tailored for tight surgical spaces, making it particularly advantageous in outpatient settings where spatial constraints are a critical concern.

Moreover, the TMINI's adaptive nature supports various implant brands, making it a versatile choice for surgeons who wish to leverage the latest orthopedic technologies without being confined to a single brand. This flexibility allows for the modification of surgical approaches and enhances the potential for tailored patient solutions.

Future of Orthopedic Surgery with THINK Surgical
