A platform built beyond the shoulder.
Our sensing technology is designed to adapt across orthopaedic applications, creating new opportunities to objectively measure joint mechanics intraoperatively.
OUR SOLUTION
What's your balance?
Bringing objective data to soft tissue assessment during shoulder arthroplasty.
Insertion & measurement
Goldilocks is inserted during trialing to objectively measure soft tissue tension and load distribution.
Real-time analysis
Force magnitude and center of load are displayed in real time, providing immediate insight into joint mechanics.
Informed decision-making
Objective measurements complement the surgeon’s assessment and provide additional information to support final implant selection.
THE STAKES
A critical balance,
difficult to acheive.
When implanting a joint prosthesis such as a knee or hip, the surgeon must choose the thickness of the polyethylene insert, which determines the tension on the ligaments and surrounding soft tissues.
Excessive tension leads to pain, stiffness, and premature wear. Insufficient tension causes instability and the risk of revision surgery. Today, most surgeons resolve this subjectively, based on experience.
BENEFITS
A new approach to intraoperative trialing
Intraoperative precision
Goldilocks provides real-time measurements of soft tissue tension and center of load, adding quantitative information to the surgeon’s assessment.
Adjustable trialing
Construct thickness can be adjusted directly with Goldilocks, allowing different thicknesses to be evaluated without repeated dislocation and reduction.
Real-time comparison
Measurements can be compared across different thicknesses and arm positions, providing additional information to support the surgeon’s final assessment.
FOR WHOM?
Designed with and for orthopedic surgeons
Built around surgical workflow
Designed to be used during trialing and to integrate into the existing steps of shoulder arthroplasty.
Objective, quantitative information
Transforms soft tissue tension into measurable data that can be reviewed directly in the operating room.
Surgeon-centered by design
Developed as an additional source of information, with interpretation and clinical decisions remaining with the surgeon.
