Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matt Barber discusses the future of patient-specific surgeries with Enhatch.

In the world of orthopedic oncology, patient-specific solutions are changing the game. Personalized approaches help surgeons navigate complex surgeries and improve patient outcomes. However, one major roadblock in scaling patient-specific solutions is the long lead times to deliver personalized solutions for surgery. 

As the QA/RA Manager at Enhatch, I take immense pride in our organization's commitment to product excellence and patient safety. Enhatch is focused on helping medical device companies, hospitals, and distributors easily plan, manage, and scale patient-specific solutions.

Orthopedic oncology is a field dedicated to treating bone and soft tissue tumors, a niche yet crucial aspect of oncology. Traditionally, this market has been an underserved market, but in recent years, it has gained increasing attention.

We are very excited to announce our partnership with Holo-Light to deliver an immersive streaming platform for intraoperative procedures and surgical training using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).

Orthopedic surgeons have always been guided by the pursuit of excellence. Rigorous science, ingenuity, technology, and good old-fashioned elbow grease helped advance the field by leaps.

The main focus of orthopedic surgeries today is faster surgeries, improved outcomes, and satisfied patients. However, many things stand in the way of achieving this goal.

At Enhatch, we strongly believe that open, digital ecosystems will deliver a universe of innovation to enhance the future of surgery, not only for orthopaedics but the entire medical device industry.

Prepping for surgery starts long before the surgeon scrubs up and walks into the operating room. For medical device companies, the logistics of planning for surgery involves inventory management, communication with the surgeon, and even tracking expenses. This person is responsible for all the instruments and implants in the operating room, and that is not a task to be taken lightly.
