An incredible few days with Medacta International!
Dr Muhammad Manjra and Dr Scott Tink travelled to Austria and Switzerland to connect with world-class surgeons and see the precision that goes into every Medacta implant.
Day 1 – Graz, Austria
They were welcomed by Prof Patrick Sadoghi and his team. A brilliant session diving into his workflow, tips and tricks using the SpheriKA medial pivot knee replacement system.
Day 2 – Vienna, Austria
Scott and Muhammad were hosted by Prof Jochen G. Hofstaetter and his team at the Spiesing Orthopaedic hospital in Vienna, to gain further insights into the exciting world of AMIS - Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery of the hip. His mastery of these techniques and meticulous soft tissue handling were inspiring to watch. Such a privilege to scrub in for these cases.
Final Stop – Switzerland
A fascinating tour of Medacta Headquarters, hosted by Tomas Rabasco (VP) and team.
Highlights included:
💧 A high water purification plant supplying the entire factory, where already world-class water is further distilled and ultra-purified before touching any implant.
🔩 Seeing even the smallest components, like a spinal locking screw cap, undergo triple quality checks, chemical washing, sterilisation and gamma radiation before being released.
The level of detail, precision and passion for quality at Medacta is inspiring - the surgeons all left with great learnings, renewed energy and deeper partnerships.
