According to the study published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery Reviews (JBJS Reviews)1, patients who had undergone bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) preferred their Conformis fully personalized knee compared to their bilateral off-the-shelf knee at a rate of more than 10 to 1.

iRhythm Technologies advises the transatlantic clinical trial found that Zio by iRhythm, an ambulatory cardiac monitoring solution, led to a tenfold increase in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) versus patients receiving standard clinical care.

Cerapedics notes results from the study are intended to be used in a Premarket Approval (PMA) submission to the FDA.

The open-label, multicenter, Phase IIa study was designed to evaluate the minimum effective dose of the PA5108 Ocular Implant in patients with mild to moderate POAG across 3 dose cohorts (10 subjects per cohort). Primary and secondary efficacy endpoints include mean diurnal IOP at 12 and 26 weeks compared to baseline, and 8am IOP at 6, 18 and 21 weeks compared to baseline.

“This large cohort study provides encouraging evidence that the ‘implant free’ Phaco-ELIOS procedure causes minimal trauma, appears to show lasting IOP control with no serious intra- or post-operative complications, and low rate of incisional secondary surgical intervention over a period of at least 8 years,” said Thomas W. Samuelson, MD, founding partner of Minnesota Eye Consultants and an Adjunct Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Minnesota.
