Orthopaedic robotics provider Corin has gained clearance for its Unity Knee Medial Constrained Tibial Insert. The latest enhancement to its Unity Knee portfolio will give surgeons the option to independently stabilise the medial compartment during a standard or robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery.
The Unity Knee MC Tibial Insert was designed to help restore native knee kinematics by stabilising the medial condyle while allowing lateral translation and is suitable for use with or without the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
Used in more than 75,000 surgical cases since its 2012 launch, Corin continues to expand its solutions, reflecting its commitment to supporting patients.

The MC insert is manufactured with Corin’s ECiMa bearing technology – a vitamin E enriched, highly cross-linked polyethylene that provides low wear characteristics, oxidative stability and enhanced mechanical performance.
Christopher Plaskos, PhD, VP, global clinical innovation at Corin, said: “Studies have demonstrated that a balanced joint has a greater impact on total knee replacement outcomes than component alignment alone.
“Combining Unity Knee MC with the robotic soft tissue balancing capabilities of ApolloKnee, a new level of natural joint kinematics and stability can be achieved throughout the range of motion. We believe this will provide patients with a more natural feeling knee.”
Jim Pierrepont, global franchise lead at Corin, added: “With the recent 510(k) clearances of the Unity Knee MC and PS-C Tibial Inserts, we’re expanding the range of solutions for surgeons to achieve personalised dynamic knee balance.
“These advancements reflect our ability to respond quickly to market needs while delivering high-quality innovations. We’re also anticipating further clearances in the coming months, which will strengthen our implant, Apollo and CorinConnect digital portfolios. With our agile R&D pipeline, we remain committed to providing differentiated solutions that enhance patient outcomes.”
Innovations and achievements in robotics in healthcare will be highlighted and celebrated at the second annual Robotics & Automation Awards on 06 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
