Orthopedic medtech titan, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. has announced the strategic acquisition of Clinical Graphics, B.V., which specializes in 3D range-of-motion simulation technology to inform treatment decisions for common hip conditions requiring early intervention.
Background
Clinical Graphics is a recognized pioneer in the field of 3D interactive range-of-motion simulation reports for common hip conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement and dysplasia, and physicians rely on its technology to characterize the physiology of a patient’s pain and direct treatment approaches. The company began in 2010 as a spin-off from Delft University of Technology and is headquartered in The Netherlands. The company can convert medical scans into 3D motion simulations of patients’ anatomy, thereby enabling physicians to make well-informed treatment decisions.
Zimmer Biomet plans to integrate the new imaging platform to enhance its hip preservation portfolio.
