KALAMAZOO, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stryker (NYSE:SYK) today announced the launch of its Pulse Intelligent Delivery Platform, a full-circle product and fulfillment offering optimized for high volume foot and ankle procedures in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting, which will debut at the 2022 American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting (AOFAS), taking place Sept. 14-17 in Qubec City, Canada. The company will also feature its Prophecy Footprint Surgical Planning, which will be the first surgical planning tool to provide clinical guidance on the whole foot in connection with total ankle arthroplasty.

This is an exciting year for Strykers Foot & Ankle business, as we continue to expand our robust portfolio to meet the needs of our surgeon customers, said Michael Rankin, VP Marketing and Medical Education, Strykers Foot & Ankle business unit. With the launch of the Pulse Intelligent Delivery Platform, we now offer a comprehensive suite of products that provides a robust program for foot and ankle surgery within an ASC setting.

The Pulse Intelligent Delivery Platform provides an integrated product configuration and delivery offering for foot and ankle surgery within the ASC setting of care through:

"As surgical procedures continue to migrate to the ASC setting, both surgeons and administrators are looking for ways to streamline their operational efficiency while increasing the reliability of their surgical equipment, said Bruce Cohen, MD, CEO of OrthoCarolina. Efficiency and reliability are exactly what Strykers Pulse platform provides for forefoot procedures in the ASC."

Other Products Debuting at AOFAS

Also being introduced at AOFAS is Prophecy Footprint, an add-on service to Strykers Prophecy Surgical Planning system that provides an understanding of the ancillary procedures to be considered for patients needing total ankle replacement surgery with concomitant pathology. Prophecy Footprint is currently in limited release in the U.S., with plans for a full launch next year.

We also look forward to introducing Prophecy Footprint at AOFAS, which will change the way surgeons prepare and plan for total ankle cases, said Rankin. In order to have a successful total ankle surgery, you have to consider what is going on with the foot itself. By facilitating a more comprehensive view of the foot around the ankle, Footprint can help surgeons with their most complex patient populations.

Rounding out its offering for foot and ankle procedures, Stryker will showcase the CurveBeam AI HiRise weight-bearing computerized tomography (WBCT) imaging system at AOFAS. Strykers Foot & Ankle business has entered into an exclusive co-promotion and distribution agreement with CurveBeam AI, a leader in WBCT.
