Atlas Knee System, invented by Moximed recently won the European CE Mark Award. This implantable knee joint unloading device is designed to decrease pressure transferred to the joint hopefully delaying the need for a knee replacement.
The device is designed to act like the strut on a car, except for your knee. The result is less damage to knee cartilage and maintaining an active liftestyle with less pain and fewer surgical procedures.
A forty patient prospective trial revealed that the Atlas could be a key pre-arthroplasty solution for those not ready to undergo joint replacement or are perhaps too young for the procedure. Stay tuned for future research on this device.
