Intelligently shaping the future of orthopaedics™
AIRO is committed to raising the global standard of care in orthopaedics by developing the means to restore an individual's pre-disease or pre-injury joint function through intelligent joint resurfacing. To meet this objective AIRO is developing two platform technologies:
Now is the time to deliver tomorrow™
Sub-millimetre precision
High speed
Non-contact and eye safe
Superior joint kinematics
Optimal positioning and joint alignment
Natural post operative feedback via ligament retention
Preservation of healthy bone
3D contour shaping unlocks implant design constraints
Pairing with customised implants
Optimal bone bed surface for cementless application
Intelligent systems
Advancement of existing Gen 1.0 robotic units
