Think Surgical’s New FDA Clearance Is Bringing it Even Closer to Zimmer Biomet

Think Surgical has won FDA clearance for the Tmini Miniature Robotic System to be used with Zimmer Biomet’s Persona Personalized Knee System.

The clearance closely follows Fremont, CA-based Think Surgical and Zimmer Biomet announcing a limited distribution agreement.

The availability of the Persona Knee System on an exclusive version of the TMINI System is a major milestone for Think Surgical, the company said.

Think Surgical said it is the only company offering a robotic system providing both an implant exclusive option with the Persona Knee System and an open implant platform for use with implants from multiple other manufacturers for total knee arthroplasty.

"Tmini addresses surgeon demand for ergonomic, wireless, handheld robotic systems and we believe this will accelerate adoption of robotics in knee procedures, particularly in the out-patient setting." said Think Surgical CEO, Stuart Simpson.

Think Surgical said that it offers robotic systems for joint replacement surgery that feature an open implant library, giving customers a compelling alternative to closed systems limited to a single manufacturer's implants.

The ability for surgeons to use implants from multiple implant manufacturers in combination with Think's robotic technology allows them to not only benefit from robotic-assisted surgery but also choose the implant best suited to each patient.
