Increase Case Volume and Efficiency

Our system is delivered as one box and one pre-sterilized kit. This just-in-time delivery model minimizes inventory and the need for sterilization, while also reducing setup and teardown times.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Conformis help reduce my sterilization costs?

Unlike off-the-shelf (OTS) systems that require up to eight costly sterilized instrument trays, the Conformis model includes a single pre-sterilized kit of patient-specific instruments, a single reusable instrument tray, and no implant inventory.

I want to reduce turnover time and increase the number of surgeries performed daily. How can Conformis help?

Because Conformis implants are delivered as one box and one tray, there are fewer instruments to manage and the case itself requires very little set up. Studies have shown that medical devices having single package design with pre-sterilized instruments can help save 15-20 minutes of setup time^7,8. The Conformis system uses single-use patient‑specific instrumentation, which is discarded after the procedure, decreasing turnover time.

Are patients demanding Conformis? Are there other facilities in my area using Conformis?
