OrthAlign Rolls Out Hip, Knee Replacement Tech

Irvine-based OrthAlign Inc., which makes handheld orthopedic technology, has begun full commercial launch of Lantern ASC for total hip and knee replacements. Commercialization comes four months after the medical device company received FDA clearance for the platform. The reusable handheld unit aims to help orthopedic surgeons align joint replacements without the need for large, expensive robotic equipment. “Today, Lantern ASC covers the two highest-volume procedures in orthopedics on one platform,” Chief Executive Eric Timko said in a statement. “That means we can serve the entire joint replacement market with a single system: hips and knees, in any center, regardless of size, volume or implant choice.”
