Medical device maker Smith & Nephew plc (NYSE: SNN) acquired two surgical software applications, Virtual BackTable® and TrayTouch®, from privately held S2 Interactive. Both of the applications are used by Syncera, Smith & Nephew’s new orthopedic supply chain model for hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). They allow hospital and ASC administrators to access, analyze and manage real-time data related to instrument use during surgery. Arthroplasty surgery can involve as many as 20 trays holding a total of 200 or more instruments, all of which need to be counted, cleaned, inspected, assembled and sterilized before every surgery.
