First surgery in Ireland with the ORIGIN® PS Total Knee

Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. – Symbios is proud to announce that the first surgeries with the ORIGIN® PS custom-made total knee have been successfully carried out in Ireland by Dr.Mahalingham in the Mater Private Hospital in Cork.

The ORIGIN® PS is a custom-made total knee prosthesis designed by Symbios in Switzerland based on a CT scan of the patient, intending to restore each individual’s knee alignment, shape and kinematics to improve patients’ satisfaction and their clinical outcomes.

Dr. Mahalingham stated “The initial set up and the minimal instrumentation required was a welcomed start to the procedure, my scrub team were very welcomed to see the ease of flow of the procedure with the sterile instruments and implants all in one box. I personally found the 3D printed instruments were of a very high quality, the fit was excellent and extremely accurate with precision cuts. I have used other systems in my long career, including patient matched instruments & robotics, I found this system very efficient, very accurate and a very streamlined system that offers substantial time savings per case. All in all, I was extremely happy with finished result and I look forward to the CR version being available.”

Mr. Ian Kelly, Managing Symbios’ business in Ireland, commented: “Some of the great things about this system is the efficiencies it has to offer, minimal set up for staff, no inventory holding in the hospitals, massively reduced CSSD costs. There is also a significant reduction in time of each procedure which all adds value from a cost perspective. The most inexperienced scrub staff can adapt to this system with ease, eliminating the stress which “off the shelf implants” can cause with massive amounts of trays of instruments and the intricate assembly of instruments during a procedure”.

With this important milestone, Symbios establishes its footprint in the territory of Ireland, now making accessible this innovative Swiss technology to Irish orthopaedic surgeons and to their patients.
