The mediCAl) classic V3.0 is a medical stand-alone software, which allows professional orthopedics preoperative measurements of existing x-rays. The software is intended to read in diagnostic images (e.g. digitized x-rays) from PACS-systems or conventional medias and to dimension them. An integrated database of orthopedic implant geometries can be overlayed to aid surgeons in their planning of orthopedic surgeries. mediCAD classic 3.0 can hand over the digital plannings as DICOMs to PACS-systems. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a health professional.
mediCAD will also support the proper workflow necessary to effectively compare pre and post-operative radiograph studies for a unique understanding of the patient's surgical outcome. Integrating this workflow with the orthopedic surgeons existing workflow and combining it with the data produced from the patient physical exam, provides a comprehensive data set for the continued prescription of a patient's relevant treatment and therapy.
The system is designed for the following medical specialties:
* Orthopedics
* Surgery and Traumnatology
* Rheumatology
* Pediatric Orthopedics
MediCAD is designed for pretoperative planning for the following applications:
* Hip - Manual Planning
* Hip - Automatic Planning
* Hip - Biometry
* Hip - Coxometry
* Hip - Wear Measurement
* Hip -FAI
Knee Prosthetic Planning
Biometry Planning -takes into account patient motion and metrics
* Coxometry - tracking of known measurement values in pediatrics to determine surgical intervention
* Osteotomy - determines optimum osteotomy locations
* Osteotomy by Dror Paley
Osteotomy (DualSide)
* Spine
* Foot
* Upper Extremities
Biological Age Determination by Hand
* Trauma
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
