Sales Quick Reference Guide
These are the “bullet point” key Features and Benefits that you must cover in your sales pitches. You don’t have to cover them all, but instead focus on the Features and Benefits that most apply to your audience. For example, an OR Director will be interested in KineMatch’s simple and fast technique. A surgeon who had bad results with off-the-shelf PFRs will be interested in learning about how our custom approach allows us to “de-couple” the front and back of the implant.
What is KineMatch PFR? The clinically proven, “patient-matched” patello-femoral replacement. A CT scan of the patient’s knee is used by a Kinamed engineer to create a CAD model of the implant, and then using CAM (computer assisted manufacturing), a customized device precisely fitting this patient’s patello-femoral groove is made. A tri-peg all poly patella implant is provided along with a patient-matched drill guide and a very simple set of instruments.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Design approximates normal kinematics by re-establishing trochlear groove alignment and depth with the aim of simulating the function of a normal anatomic sulcus to facilitate proper patella tracking.
- Patient-Specific approach means the bone facing and trochlear sides are “de-coupled” during design of each implant to allow for the re-establishment of kinematics while providing for optimum bone fit.
- Avoids femoral bone resection by utilizing CT modeling technology to achieve individual custom fit to the patient’s distal anterior femoral anatomy.
- Custom fit minimizes problems of soft tissue impingement often seen with “off-the-shelf” patello-femoral implant designs.
- As compared to total knee replacement rehabilitation time is significantly decreased.
- Post-operative knee function is potentially better compared to total knee arthroplasty.
- Generally, operative time is significantly less than total knee surgery.
