About Us
THINK Surgical®, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets active robotics for knee replacement surgery and maintains an open implant library, allowing surgeons maximum choice for their patients. The TSolution One® Surgical System combines two exclusive innovations to produce a revolutionary technology. The system consists of TPLAN®, a 3D Planning Workstation and TCAT®, a computer-assisted tool. These revolutionary technologies advance total joint replacement surgery. The pre-surgical planning allows the surgeon to design and prepare, in a virtual environment, the patient’s unique joint replacement plan using a choice of implant options. Total joint replacement surgery involves removing the diseased knee joint and replacing it with a joint implant. During the joint replacement surgery, the surgeon implements the patient’s pre-planned procedure using the fully active robot, which prepares the joint precisely according to the surgeon’s plan for placement of implants. This technology offers surgeons consistency, an important aspect in total joint replacement. The TSolution One® core technology has been used in thousands of successful total joint replacements for both hip and knee worldwide. The TSolution One® Total Knee Application was FDA cleared in October 2019 and is in commercial release in the US and other countries.
