The VIP™ preoperative planning system is a medical device designed to facilitate the transfer of information between surgeons and Arthrex technicians. With purposeful functionality, the application allow surgeons to make adjustments to protocol-based plans created by Arthrex technicians. Once the initial plan is created, a surgeon can adjust an implant’s position and orientation on the isolated scapula in both 2D and 3D within the ArthrexVIP application. The application also serves as a communication channel between surgeons and technicians through the approval process. Once a plan is approved in the application, further changes are prohibited.
