Robotic-assisted procedures compared to traditional methods*
Robotic-assisted1-4
• Technology controlled by the surgeon
• May experience less pain and a faster recovery
• More consistent outcomes (inconsistencies can affect recovery)
Traditional4-8
• Hand-held tool
• May experience a longer recovery time
• Outcomes may change based on surgeon processes and performance
* Findings based on studies conducted across multiple robotic-assisted total knee replacement systems.
The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution uses a variety of advanced technologies to ensure the surgeon has the information and tools they need to perform a highly accurate and precise knee replacement.1
• Aids the surgeon by accessing state-of- the-art technology to provide insights for real-time decision making
• Helps your surgeon remove the damaged bone with accuracy
• Uses an infrared camera and optical trackers to help your surgeon achieve the highest possible precision level
• Works exclusively with the ATTUNE™ Knee System, an innovative implant system
This technology is a robotic-assisted device that helps assist the surgeon to perform a knee replacement surgery. The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution is designed for digital precision.1
• Helps the surgeon optimize the outcome with the use of data that’s unique to your anatomy
• Keeps your surgeon in control during your procedure and doesn’t move or operate on its own

In an IRB approved early outcomes study, physiotherapists collected data on 40 patients implanted with ATTUNE® Knees and 40 patients with SIGMA® CR150 knees. The results demonstrated that patients implanted with the ATTUNE Knee had statistically significant improvements in some early outcomes, other outcomes demonstrated a trend favoring the ATTUNE Knee, and some outcomes were equivalent.
