LimaCorporate and TechMah Medical LLC announced today important strides in the development of their digital platform designed to assist surgeons in delivering improved outcomes with an accessible and sustainable economic model, following LimaCorporate’s milestone-based acquisition of TechMah Medical. TechMah Medical was founded by Dr. Mohamed Mahfouz, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Dr. Michael Johnson, and Dr. Emam ElHak Abdel Fatah in 2014.
On December 28, 2020 TechMah Medical LLC received 510-K clearance from the FDA for its proprietary Smart SPACE Humeral 3D Positioner for use in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and on February 3, 2021 it received 510-K clearance for its Smart SPACE Cubit Guidance also for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. In addition, on January 19, 2021, the CE Mark for the Apple Macintosh OS version of the Smart SPACE 3D Virtual Planner was obtained by LimaCorporate.
Smart SPACE is LimaCorporate’s digital platform and features novel orthopedic technology and a rich pipeline of landscape-changing applications. Smart SPACE is a new environment designed to further enable the surgeon and enhance the predictability of surgical outcomes providing peace-of-mind to the physician. The Humeral 3D Positioner and Shoulder Cubit Guidance are important and innovative cornerstones of the Smart SPACE ecosystem.
This pioneering digital platform is intended to allow surgeons to develop a complete pre-operative plan, utilizing the Smart SPACE 3D Virtual Planner and execute the plan precisely using a combination of patient-customized 3D Positioners and the Cubit Guidance System with its proprietary sensor technology. Surgeons using the system receive real time feedback regarding instrument and implant positioning, all while maintaining their desired OR and patient set up.
