Read MoreHide Full Article
Paragon 28, Inc. (FNA - Free Report) recently announced the launch of the SMART28 Case Management Portal. This cutting-edge platform leverages AI to provide a seamless user experience to coordinate patient-specific surgical plans. It is the first major launch within Paragon 28’s SMART28 ecosystem, a portfolio of solutions and products.
Additionally, the company launched SMART Bun-Yo-Matic for bunion correction. It is the first module to be launched with the SMART28 Case Management Portal.
The latest development underscores the company’s commitment to improving all aspects of foot and ankle treatments by utilizing artificial intelligence, data analytics, patient-specific algorithms, 3D modeling and other enabling technologies.
About SMART28 Case Management Portal
The SMART28 Case Management Portal gives surgeons the ability to plan cases, coordinate surgery dates and submit patient imaging. It also serves as a direct line of communication with the Paragon 28 engineering and sales teams for real-time support, status updates and surgical planning insights. The Case Management Portal is a foundational tool for future modules to serve many additional foot and ankle conditions.
About SMART Bun-Yo-Matic Device
SMART Bun-Yo-Matic is the first foot and ankle orthopedic device in the market that allows the user to see the foot as 3D anatomy from two X-ray images. It contains imaging optionality to input either patient weight-bearing X-rays or weight-bearing CT scans.
The device revolutionizes preoperative planning and correction for hallux valgus by creating plans tailored to the individual patient. It comes with AI-driven algorithms and statistical shape modeling integrated with surgeon input.
With the SMART Bun-Yo-Matic, surgeons can efficiently plan a procedure in 3D and precisely implement the plan with full intraoperative control. The final surgical plan provides the surgeon with user-specific reference points for additional reproducibility when paired with the Bun-Yo-Matic Lapidus Clamp.
Industry Prospects
Per a Precedence Research report, the global foot and ankle devices market size was valued at $4.73 billion in 2023 and is expected to hit $9.32 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 7.02% during the period. Primary factors driving market growth include the intensified awareness of foot and ankle health, sports injuries, the rising aging population, the surge in the prevalence of chronic diseases and technological innovations. Moreover, the increase in popularity of minimally invasive surgical procedures for the cure of foot and ankle disorders also support market growth.
Looking at the market potential, Paragon 28 is well-positioned to gain from the latest launch of the SMART28 Case Management Portal and the SMART Bun-Yo-Matic device.
