Sakra World Hospital, one of Bengaluru’s leading healthcare providers and India’s first FDI hospital, now houses for one of its kind healthcare innovations, advanced robotic knee replacement technology, which is designed to allow orthopaedic surgeons to prepare knee replacement days before entering the operation theatre to actually perform the procedure. Meet CUVIS Joint, the world’s first and fully active robotic knee replacement device that has enhanced knee replacement surgeries more precise, seamless and hassle-free in Sakra World Hospital and comes as a comfort for those suffering from extreme arthritis. Manufactured by Curexo, a South Korean company, marketed and sold in India by Meril Healthcare and known for its distinctive and autonomous nature. BS Yediyurappa, the Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, and Dr. Shivaraj Kumar, a famous Kannada film star, launched CUVIS Joint.

“The Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, BS Yediyurappa, expressing his delight at the launch of CUVIS Joint, said, “I am pleased to see that this new advanced robotic technology has been brought to India for the first time to assist in the treatment of people dealing with chronic arthritis. I appreciate the acquisitions of this technology by Sakra World Hospital and Dr. Chandrashekar P and wish them good luck. I am sure that this will benefit people in India and abroad, particularly during this pandemic. Both for patients and healthcare providers, the minimal human interference will render a win-win scenario.

Dr. Chandrasekhar P, Senior Consultant & Head of the Department of Orthopaedics, Sakra World Hospital, with an experience of, 8000 effective knee replacement surgeries and one of the key global opinion leaders behind the creation of the fully active robotic system of CUVIS, explained how CUVIS Joint can transform knee replacement surgeries, said, “While using this Robotic Knee Replacement Technology, we first conduct a CT scan before the surgery. The images from the CT scan are loaded in the robotic software. The surgeon sits with the software and prepares the 3D anatomy of the patient’s knee joint and prepares the surgical plan that shows how the implantable knee would look like side to side, front to front and oblique direction.

Echoing Dr. Chandrashekhar’s words, Mr. Takashi Maki, Managing Director – Sakra World Hospital shared, “The impeccable precision of CUVIS Joint walks hand in hand with uncompromising dedication and flawless care and service offered by Sakra World Hospital. Inspired by the Japanese values and cutting-edge Japanese technology, Sakra has always lived up to spearheading technological advancements in global and Indian healthcare. With CUVIS Joint, we hope to offer optimum clinical outcome and garner maximum patient satisfaction.”

The fully active nature of CUVIS Joint helps in conducting joint replacement surgeries in an exceptional manner requiring the least human intervention. In addition to the maximum precision, accuracy and flexibility on offer, it has features for maximum safety as well. It takes the help of CT-Scan images to develop patient-specific 3D bone models and does the virtual simulation of joint replacement surgeries personalized for each patient. With sub-millimeter dimensional accuracy, it helps to get the optimal post-surgery outcomes for joint replacement. The benefits that this avant-garde robotic technology brings in include lesser tissue trauma and associated blood loss, faster recovery, early hospital discharge and best possible implant positioning with maximum cutting accuracy. Alongside, it promises to redefine the lives of those suffering from acute arthritis and give them an active life like never before.

Manish Deshmukh, Head of Marketing and Technical at Meril Healthcare Pvt Ltd says, “I have always loved superhero med-tech stuff. From saw cutting to automatic milling, we have always upgraded by giving more to life. We, at Meril, are really looking forward to adding this new dimension of technological advancement in the field of joint replacement and achieving newer heights with our impeccable association with Sakra World Hospital and Dr. Chandrashekar P.”
