LINKOPING, Sweden, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a distribution
agreement with RSA Biomedical. Under the contract, RSA Biomedical
will now offer Sectra CT-based Micromotion Analysis (Sectra CTMA®).
This measurement method facilitates time and cost-efficient
clinical validation of orthopaedic implant movement for the benefit
of patient safety.
"For the past two decades, we have supported orthopaedists and
implant manufacturers by providing measurement methods for
validating implants and our brand is market leading in terms of
quality. Sectra's CT-based measurement method represents a paradigm
shift in this field as it contains clear advantages for patients,
surgeons and the implant industry. We are excited about the
opportunity to help bring this emerging technology to the market,"

Australia, and Asia use the RSA method.
"RSA Biomedical clearly understands what is needed to bring an
orthopaedic implant into clinical practice. Its support of the move
toward CT-based measurements represents an important step forward
in efforts to make this type of validation the new gold standard.
I'm excited about what our collaboration will lead to in terms of
increased availability of safer orthopaedic implants and
ultimately, improved patient outcomes," says Gustaf Schwang, General Manager Business Unit
Orthopaedic Solutions at Sectra.
About Sectra CTMA
Sectra CTMA is a method that facilitates the measurement of
movements between implants and bone using computed tomography
images (CT images). The method uses CT images taken typically up to
two years after implantation to measure the 3D movement of an
implant or bone fragment on a submillimeter scale. With this data,
scientists can analyze the movement of an implant or bone segment
over time. This early high-precision information provides a strong
predictor of the long-term survival of the implant.
Sectra CTMA is part of the orthopaedic module of Sectra's
enterprise imaging solution. The enterprise imaging solution
provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering
operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at
its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology
and from enterprise to enterprise. Read more about Sectra's
enterprise imaging solution and why Sectra PACS is ranked "Best in
KLAS" for seven consecutive years at medical.sectra.com.
