About Ortoma AB (publ)

Ortoma AB develops surgical systems for the planning and positioning of implants in hip, knee and spinal surgery.

Ortoma’s surgical system is aimed at providing better patient outcomes, fewer complications and less follow-up surgeries - and thus better long-term survival rates for the implant. Another aim is to create a system that can be integrated easily into the processes and routines that are currently used in surgeries, thereby increasing efficiency.
