The VELYST™ Robotic-Assisted Solution is an image-free robotic-assisted surgery system for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). It is intended
lobotic-Assisted Solution is an image-free robotic-assisted surgery system for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). I for stereotaxic surgery to aid the surgeon in identifying the relative position of anatomical structures and landmarks, planning the position of the femoral and tibial implant components intraoperatively, and preparing total knee arthroplasty.
The image-free system uses a dedicated optical tracking device to acquire anatomical landmarks are then used to plan the femoral and tibial implant locations based on the surgeon's preferred surgical technique and placement preferences. Following the planning step, the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution helps the surgeon to execute the bone preparation according to the plan.
The system includes a Robotic-Assisted Device that constrion and orientation of the saw handpiece and blade inside each plane corresponding to each resection on the patient's femur and tibia. The surgeon actuates the saw handpiece, within the planned resection plane, to execute the bone resection. This is analogous to using manual instruments in TKA. If the patient's leg moves during the resection, the Robotic-Assisted Device compensates for such movement in real-time.
The Robotic-Assisted Device is assembled with a Robotic-Assisted Device arm, mounted on the Operating Room (OR) bed rail, for a minimal footprint
The VELYS® Robotic-Assisted Solution incorporates several software subsystems, including applications responsible for general operation of the system and a Clinical Application dedicated to the surgery workflow.
The users interact with the Clinical Application via a touchscreen and footswitch to navigate through the surgery steps. Case Reports including key surgical procedure information are stored on the system and can be retrieved by the surgeon for future use. Cases Reports

including PHI are only available to the surgeon who performed the procedure.
