Custom form and fit are critical to restoring function and improving outcomes in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Conformis implants are designed based on patient’s anatomy. Off-the-shelf knee implants are designed based on a set of pre-determined measurements, and the “closest fit” is selected at the time of surgery. We design our personalized implants to follow the particular shape and contour of each patient's joint. As a result, we believe our implants offer an increased potential for a knee that moves more naturally and is more stable.

Our technology replicates the individual J-curves and design our products to achieve Neutral Mechanical Alignment. Conformis is the only technology that maintains both joint lines through the use of individual polyethylene inserts rather than a single piece used in off-the-shelf implants. Our femoral and tibial implants are sized and shaped to fit each patient’s unique anatomy, offering advantages not achievable with “off-the-shelf” implants. Our products are designed to restore the patient’s natural joint line while maintaining neutral mechanical alignment.

Preserving as much of the patient’s natural knee as possible is important and the unique design of the Conformis implant allows for optimal bone preservation. The implants are patient-specific and have been shown to be thinner than off-the-shelf implants, without sacrificing strength. A thinner implant allows for less bone and healthy tissue removal. Knee arthroplasty is often referred to as a soft tissue procedure, due to balancing that is needed in order to fit the implant to the patient. Conformis aims to take the focus away from soft tissue balancing by designing implants that respect each patient’s natural condylar shape and follow the contour of their unique anatomy.

We believe an individual fit requires less bone and soft tissue removal by the surgeon, thereby shortening recovery times. Since 2004, Conformis has developed a broad line of customized knee implants and singe-used instruments delivered in a compact ready-to-use complete sterile kit. We are revolutionizing the customer experience by providing the most innovative “Surgery in a Box” patient specific orthopedic implant systems in the world.

Patient-Specific implants offer greater overall patients’ satisfaction with the results of their knee replacement. There is a difference between a successful surgery and a satisfied patient.
