OrthAlign, Inc Announces First Cases Using LANTERN™ Surgical Assistant; A Next Generation Technology
OrthAlign, Inc., a privately held U.S.-based medical device and technology company providing orthopedic surgeons with advanced precision technologies, announced the first cases using LANTERN™ Surgical Assistant.

LANTERN Surgical Assistant is a compact, inertial navigation system that builds upon the clinical success of OrthAlign's flagship technology and provides a platform for feature and application expansion. The core technology is the size of a smartphone and uses micro-electromechanical sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers to register patient anatomy and live-navigate instrumentation for precise implant placement. LANTERN currently supports total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with developing applications for total hip arthroplasty and intraoperative assessment tools such as soft tissue balancing.
