Developed by Johnson & Johnson MedTech, the system is designed to improve patient outcomes with shorter hospital stays and greater post-surgery mobility.

"We know our patients are looking for faster recovery times and an improved quality of life post-surgery.
"The arrival of this system promises to offer our patients the latest and best technology on their doorstep."
The VELYS system works exclusively with the ATTUNE Knee System and is designed to improve post-operative stability and movement by preserving soft tissue around the knee joint.
It uses CT-free technology to assist surgeons in placing implants more accurately, aiming for more predictable outcomes and a quicker return to mobility.
The first procedure using the new technology was carried out on April 23.
