Innovating veterinary orthopedics: Knee surgeries
Vimian’s orthopedics business is at the forefront of veterinary knee surgery, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions to address cranial cruciate ligament injuries, when bands inside the knee get hurt or torn, in dogs. These injuries, similar to ACL tears in humans, are among the most common orthopedic issues in canines. Vimian’s approach ensures that veterinarians have access to advanced techniques and implants tailored to every dog's need.
Cranial cruciate ligament tears in dogs are fairly common, especially among some breeds, and only one out of three dogs in need of crucial ligament surgery gets one. Despite some similarities to human conditions, the unique slope of a dog’s tibia, makes traditional ligament replacement less effective in canines. Therefore, Vimian focuses on procedures like Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), CORA-Based Leveling Osteotomy (CBLO), and Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA). These techniques adjust the biomechanics of the knee to restore stability, rather than directly replacing the ligament.
Vimian stands out in the field by offering the widest range of implants and instruments. With proprietary innovations, Vimian caters to varying surgical preferences and anatomical differences. This commitment to versatility empowers surgeons to choose the best tools for each procedure, ultimately improving outcomes for the patient.
Education is a cornerstone of Vimian’s strategy. While advanced procedures like total hip replacement are typically performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeons, procedures like TPLO are also carried out by general practitioners. Vimian supports these veterinarians with comprehensive training, from diagnosis to surgery, through hands-on courses led by leading orthopedic specialists.
Design excellence is also important. The KYON plates, known for their sleek green design and proprietary locking system, exemplify the brand’s commitment to both functionality and innovation. These design elements contribute to strong brand recognition among veterinarians and reflect Vimian’s leadership in orthopedic implant technology.
From tiny implants for small breeds to robust solutions for large dogs, Vimian’s products are tailored to a wide range of patient needs. The pioneering role in certain procedures, combined with a focus on education and design, cements the position as a trusted partner in veterinary orthopedic care.
Vimian’s ongoing innovations aim to improve not just surgical outcomes but also the confidence and capabilities of veterinarians worldwide. With its extensive product range and forward-thinking initiatives, Vimian is redefining standards in canine orthopedic care.
