BUSINESS WIRE: Hirslanden Clinique La Colline Adopts Medacta’s Efficiency KneePack: the New Gold Standard in Resource Optimization and Knee Replacement Procedure Management

Hirslanden Clinique La Colline, an internationally renowned clinic in Geneva part of the first Swiss private clinic group Hirslanden, has optimized instrument management and implant stock for its total knee replacement (TKR) procedures by introducing Medacta’s Efficiency KneePack as the new standard in its practice. This advanced solution has helped Clinique La Colline to improve its supply chain and TKR procedure workflow, reducing the resources needed to manage procedures and enabling an even stronger focus on surgeons’ needs and patients’ wellbeing.

“I was already using Medacta’s MyKnee Patient-Specific cutting blocks, which have helped me achieve higher dependability with greater ease and comfort of use in every case” said Dr. med. Jean-Philippe Corsat.

“The Single Use Instruments, delivered brand new and unworn every time, have been a great addition.” added Dr. med. Marc Saudan, “I didn’t have to change my technique at all; after a few cases, I was completely used to them.”

Delivered sterile and ready for use, the Efficiency KneePack is the ultimate solution to implant Medacta’s GMK^® Primary or GMK^® Sphere in a TKR procedure. The Efficiency KneePack includes femur and tibia implants, MyKnee^® Patient-Matched cutting blocks and GMK^® Efficiency single use instruments.

“Thanks to Medacta’s Efficiency KneePack, we have drastically streamlined our logistic workflow” said André Joyeusaz, logistics department representative. “Instrumentation sets and implants are delivered just a few days before surgery, limiting the stock here at the surgical unit. […]”.

“It is Medacta’s mission to address surgeon and hospital needs with advanced technologies that encourage patient wellbeing and healthcare system sustainability,” said Francesco Siccardi, Executive Vice President of Medacta International. “The Efficiency KneePack embodies this as it addresses pain points at every level. We believe it will become the gold standard for clinics and ambulatory surgical centers looking to optimize their resources.”
