Johnson & Johnson MedTech announced the launch of the KINCISE 2™ Surgical Automated System, a next-generation automated power tool engineered to improve surgical efficiency, provide control and aims to reduce physical burden on surgeons compared to manual impaction across both primary and revision hip, and revision knee replacement procedures.

Orthopaedic surgeons today face growing complexity in the operating room (OR), from longer procedures and increasing case volumes to the physical demands of surgery itself. Many procedures require repetitive, high-force tasks such as repeated mallet strikes, which have been linked to overuse injuries. 97 percent of surgeons report musculoskeletal pain related to their work, commonly in the lower back, hands and neck. The KINCISE™ 2 System was developed to address these challenges head on, aiming to improve surgical efficiency and lessen the physical burden experienced by surgeons.

"When I think about what the KINCISE™ 2 System means for the future of orthopaedic care, it's simple: it helps surgeons stay at their best, longer," said Dr. Vasilios Mathews||, M.D., Texas Orthopedic Hospital. "This system is designed to reduce strain and support surgical precision, which means we can focus more fully on the patient in front of us. That's the true value – technology that not only improves surgical experience but helps us deliver better outcomes for every patient we treat."

KINCISE™ 2 builds on the consistent functionality of our first-generation KINCISE™ System. New design features—including increased reverse energy4 and push to lock adaptors —provide an upgraded surgical workflow and experience. The newest addition of Acetabular Cup Extraction makes the KINCISE™ 2 System the first and only automated impactor approved for removing well-fixed acetabular components expanding its role and versatility in complex hip revisions and complementing its compatibility with advanced techniques like Anterior Approach.

"The KINCISE™ 2 System exemplifies the needs-based innovation we're bringing to Orthopaedics this year," said Aldo Denti, Company Group Chairman, Orthopaedics, Johnson & Johnson MedTech. "As more patients undergo joint replacements earlier in life, the demand for revision surgeries is rising. The KINCISE™ System has demonstrated the ability to help surgeons manage those complex cases by reducing operating time and providing procedural control ultimately supporting better outcomes for patients.
