Soft tissue management is a key element of success in TKA. Patients with wellbalanced soft tissues have reported improved post-operative outcomes when compared to those with unbalanced knees.3,4
The CORI Digital Tensioner is a purpose-built device that allows surgeons to achieveconsistent joint laxity measurement in the native knee prior to cutting bone.1,2,5 Usinga surgeon-defined force setting (Newtons), the system displays the applied forcerelative to the target force.
The CORI Digital Tensioner has been shown to provide a 64% reduction in balancingthe knee, compared to conventional methods.*1,2,5,6
