BILLERICA, Mass., March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conformis, Inc.\u00a0(NASDAQ: CFMS) today announced the clearance of its patient-specific iTotal\u00ae PS total knee replacement system by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which is part of the Australian Department of Health, and which authorizes the marketing of medical devices and other healthcare products in Australia.<\/p>\n

The iTotal\u00ae PS system, which launched in the United States in 2016, is designed to address the shortcomings of traditional, off-the-shelf knee replacements that are manufactured in limited sizes and shapes. iTotal\u00ae PS implants are specifically designed to restore the natural shape of each patient\u2019s knee, and to avoid overhang, rotation, and sizing compromises associated with pain after surgery. Primary total knee implants are designed to either retain the patient\u2019s own posterior cruciate ligament (cruciate-retaining, or CR), or substitute for it (posterior-stabilized, or PS). iTotal\u00ae PS implants use a customized cam and spine feature to serve the function of the posterior cruciate ligament and to provide optimal stability throughout the full range of motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving clearance for our iTotal\u00ae PS product in Australia will allow us to offer a best-in-class, patient-specific solution to relieve patients\u2019 chronic knee joint pain,\u201d said Mark Augusti, President and CEO. \u201cWith this clearance, we have greatly expanded the number of potential patients who will be candidates for our personalized knee replacement implants, and we are thrilled to offer the benefits of our unique technology to surgeons in Australia who prefer a posterior-stabilized design to a cruciate-retaining one.\u201d<\/p>\n

iTotal\u00ae PS is designed with the following features and benefits:<\/p>\n
