Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), the global medical technology company, today announces a months-long roadshow across central Europe to promote its CORI Surgical System – an advanced robotics-assisted surgical platform for total knee and hip joint replacement procedures.

The tour will commence in Berlin today and make dozens of stops at surgical facilities across Germany, Austria and Switzerland until returning to Berlin on 28 October for DKOU 2025 – the largest Orthopaedics congress in Europe. The goal of the tour is to demonstrate the capabilities of the CORI Surgical System to surgeons, operating room (OR) technical staff, and administrators at surgical clinics that perform hip and knee replacement procedures but have not yet made the jump to using robotics. Visits will include a private CORI workshop at the clinic for those who register.

The CORI Surgical System features image-agnostic smart mapping to register 3D models of the joint in surgery, intra-operative gap balancing, and real-time planning for a truly personalized surgical experience. Additionally, the system is:

Image-agnostic registration and real-time gap assessment are designed to help optimize alignment and balancing.

Ergonomic handpiece with burr designs deliver twice the cutting volume resulting in 29% faster resection. Enhanced workflow requires fewer steps and may help save time in the OR.

The uniquely small footprint and compact design make it easily transportable and able to fit in today's crowded operating room settings. CORI Roadshow

The capabilities of the CORI Surgical System continue to expand and now include total, partial and revision knee systems, including cemented and cementless primary knee implant technology. It is also compatible with implants and approaches for total hip arthroplasty. The CORI Virtual Planner provides an interactive, fully functional software tool for surgeons to become familiar with creating a surgical plan on the CORI Surgical System.
