Building Implants For The Active Patient

The Future Of Orthopaedics

At Actuos, We Innovate for a New Era in Orthopedics

Actuos

At Actuos™, we recognize that the future of orthopedic care, particularly in partial knee replacements for highly active patients, demands a fundamental shift in philosophy and design.

That’s why we’ve developed the Actuos Nuovo™—a groundbreaking system that redefines what’s possible for those unwilling to let knee pain limit their potential. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of implant technology, ensuring that our patients not only regain mobility but also excel in their active lives.

Nuovo

A Knee Implant Designed for the Highly Active Athlete

Designed for Highly Active Patients

The Nuovo™ is the first and only partial knee replacementsystem designed for highly active patients.

The Challenge: Outdated Designs for a New Generation of Patients

Traditionally, cemented partial knee replacements were developed with the elderly, low-activity patient in mind. As the indications for partial knee replacement have expanded to include younger, more active patients, implant designs have lagged behind. This mismatch has led to compromised implant longevity and suboptimal patient outcomes, limiting the effectiveness of partial knee replacements to an older demographic.

Our Solution: The Nuovo™—A Paradigm Shift in Knee Implant Design

At Actuos™, we recognize that the future of partial knee replacements lies in a fundamental shift in philosophy and design. The Nuovo™ system represents this change, offering a novel implant design strategy tailored to meet the demands of highly active patients. With the Nuovo™, we are not just improving implant longevity; we are expanding the possibilities for patients who refuse to let knee pain slow them down.
