Conformis From A Patient’s Perspective
In recognition of achieving 50,000 custom knee replacements implanted into patients, Conformis invited a handful of patients who received a custom-made iTotal to the corporate headquarters just outside of Boston. This allowed the team at Conformis to hear just how much of a positive impact their work is having on the lives of those we serve.
A knee replacement has to do more than just allow someone to go back to household chores or reduce pain. With the Conformis custom knee replacement, we are allowing patients to return to higher levels of activity than ever imagined. The standard industry answer to improving patient outcomes is to set realistic expectations. That answer is not good enough. With the Conformis technology, we now can meet the patient’s expectations and not the other way around.
People want more from their knee replacement these days, and those demands are only going to grow. The custom-made knee replacement from Conformis, which is designed with the help of 3D printers, allows us to better meet the demands of the patient’s by giving them back a knee that matches the exact shape of the knee they had before their arthritis progressed.
Watch this video and see some of the wonderful activities that these patients were able to get back to doing after receiving their custom knees and why they know that Conformis has had a positive impact on their lives.
