Abys Medical
Leading the Way for New Practices in Orthopaedics

People are living healthier and longer lives owing to advances in surgery and medical technology, with the current Surgery 4.0 revolution introducing new means of conducting medical procedures with minimal complications and greater patient outcomes. Notably, technologies such as machine learning, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing are the building blocks of Surgery 4.0 that have made a positive impact felt in otherwise complex orthopaedic procedures. Although a majority of these technologies are not yet utilized in orthopaedic procedures on humans, they are making a major breakthrough in the veterinary field. More importantly, the only firm utilizing advanced technologies to offer integrative and collaborative real-time 3D tools along with 3D-printing for implants in a cloud native environment is Abys.^® Medical. “No other company worldwide can propose such a combination to surgeons, because we are the only ones who made the conscious choice of having a cloud native solution,” states Arnaud Destainville, co-founder and president of Abys^® Medical. Moreover, the concept of Surgery 4.0 was created by the company in response to the sluggish innovation in surgical care, and Abys^® Medical was formed in 2018 with a mission to unlock the access to true personalized surgery.

Abys^® Medical is bringing life to the concept of augmented surgeons through its cutting-edge software and tools, which improve the capabilities of a surgeon by ten-folds at the least. The company believes that the need for augmented surgeons is pivotal to the growth of the population, ageing factors, and to increase the efficiency of an orthopaedic practitioner. Stressing on providing a solution for optimally personalizing the surgical management of a patient with a skeletal disorder, Abys^® Medical is on its way to set a gold standard in orthopaedic surgeries. This is achieved by providing orthopaedic surgeons access to a unique all-in-one solution through cloud that centralizes all services necessitated to prepare and perform an optimal surgery on a patient.

The software is a one of a kind, “all-in-one” solution that is natively developed to run using cloud computing technologies, allowing surgeons to be better prepared for surgeries in a comparatively shorter span of time.

The question of how Abys^® Medical’s solution assists surgeons in orthopaedic surgery is what makes the company noteworthy.
The organization’s all-in-one concept relies on three major pillars, combining implantology and digital tools (i.e. planification and holographic guiding) in order to augment medical professionals for orthopaedic surgeries. By providing a unique collaborative surgery planning web platform of clients, the company enables surgeons to simulate in 3D each and every sequence of surgery, which helps them to optimally plan a procedure. Combined with the 3D simulation is a 3D-printing service that aids surgeons to have patient-specific implants and instruments manufactured directly from the web platform. To further aid surgeons in the OR, the firm developed an app that delivers mixed reality assistance from the surgical plan validated by the practitioner on the company’s platform. These pillars together improve clinical outcomes, reduce risk on patients, proffer operational improvements, and lead to cost savings.

The company’s solution is currently making great progress in veterinary orthopaedic surgery, excelling in operational procedures relating to femur and radius deformities. It helps surgeons calculate the angle of deformity of a long bone and be able to cut the bone and realign it to achieve a good anatomical axis. In humans, a similar process would result in 60 percent of surgical preparation being incorrect due to the use of conventional instruments to measure the degree of correction. Abys® Medical’s 3-in-1 solution system (3D planning, patient-specific implants, holographic assistance) leads to a perfect fit between simulation and realization of a procedure, thereby reducing wrong clinical outcomes. “We will release our first collaborative platform dedicated to the orthopaedic surgeon by the last quarter next year and launch this product in Europe and the USA subsequently” states Arnaud. The company works towards unlocking access to truly personalized surgery using integrative and collaborative digital solutions. Abys^® Medical’s intermediary vision is to bring predictive surgery; for that to come to fruition, the company is raising an additional 12 million Euros for its human program, bolstered by its freshly released and extremely promising veterinary solution.
