mediCAD Hectec GmbH, Germany has been developing software solutions for orthopedic surgeons since 1994 with the goal to, in all aspects, digitally enable efficient and secure planning for joint operations – in clinics as well as in practices.
In 1999, mediCAD® became the first software program worldwide to allow the user to create complete and professional pre-operative planning for a joint replacement in a digital environment with just a few keystrokes/clicks. With the mediCAD® solution, the company has set until today an innovative milestone worldwide in supporting surgical orthopedics. By automatically archiving all the necessary information and ensuring consistent traceability of the findings, pre-operative preparation and follow-up care.
With its world’s largest implant database with around 550,000 templates from over 140 international implant manufacturers, mediCAD® maintains its status as the worldwide most widely used planning program on the market.
The direct connection of mediCAD Hectec and Lima Corporate allows now orthopedic surgeons to have immediate access to Lima implants for their digital preoperative planning. mediCAD and Lima customers can benefit from a wide range of Lima implants in 2D and 3D in the mediCAD® database. “As of now, more than 22 Lima hip replacement systems, 4 knee and shoulder systems as well as the elbow discovery system are available in the mediCAD® database for 2D planning and ready to use by orthopedic surgeons”, states Jörn Seel, CEO of mediCAD Hectec. For the growing 3D market, Lima already is one of the leading partners in providing 3D templates to be integrated in the database; meaning that customers using the 3D software of mediCAD® already have access to a wide range of Lima hip replacement systems, with a continued grow to be expected.
Overall, this cooperation benefits of more than 1,500 single implants in 2D and 3D integrated in the mediCAD® database. “A great number of implants our customers can benefit from. And for our partner Lima, a great opportunity to tie their customers through mediCAD® to their products in the long term. We look forward to having a great partnership and successful cooperation to serve our shared customers the best”, resumes Jörn Seel.
