VANTUS MANUFACTURING CORP SYSTEMS

Project Description

Vantus Manufacturing will license from Vantus Technology Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“Vantus Technology”), certain rights to the “Vantus Digital Manufacturing System” (“VDMS”). VDMS is a proprietary systems approach to the design and production of “Personalized Orthopaedic Solutions”, which includes personalized implants and surgical instrumentation. VDMS has been developed by Vantus Technology since 2004 in collaboration with Medical College of Wisconsin, Rush University Medical Center, University of Wisconsin – Madison, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and National Naval Medical Center. VDMS integrates medical imaging, quantitative image analysis, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, telemedicine, virtual design collaboration, virtual design simulation and validation, informatics, robotic surgery, mass-customization production, and additive manufacturing technology, to produce “Personalized Orthopaedic Solutions”. VDMS offers 3 advantages over traditional orthopaedic medical devices that are presently in use today –(i) a better fitting product for the patient’s anatomy that is designed to minimize problems associated with joint and bone misalignment, loosening of the device, and revision surgery, (ii) a product which is designed to accommodate the lifestyle and function of each patient (e.g., a 40 year old golfer or tennis player who needs a total knee replacement vs. an 85 year old person who is less active in activity), and (iii) a faster delivery of the product to the patient, by generally producing personalized implants and surgical instrumentation within 48 hours. Vantus Technology has filed for comprehensive patent protection for VDMS. “Vantus Digital Manufacturing System” and “Personalized Orthopaedic Solutions” are trademarks of Vantus Technology.
