We are a medical technology company developing and manufacturing joint replacement implants that are customized to fit each patient’s unique anatomy.
In traditional joint replacement surgery, the surgeon selects an “off-the-shelf” implant from a range of standard fixed sizes, and then has to make the necessary adjustments to fit the implant to the patient during the procedure. At ConforMIS we believe that optimizing implant fit and performance requires a patient-specific approach. By combining advanced 3D imaging technology with the latest manufacturing capabilities, we customize each and every implant to the patient’s unique size and shape.
Founded in 2004, ConforMIS owns or exclusively in-licenses approximately 470 issued patents and pending patent applications that cover customized implants and patient-specific instrumentation for all major joints. ConforMIS was named the Winner of the North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Medical Device Healthcare Innovation in 2008 and has been recognized with a 2009 Medical Design Excellence Award (MDEA) and 2011 American Technology Award.

To make the implant fit the patient rather than force the patient to fit the implant.
Conformis implants are covered, billed, and coded under most private insurance, as well as Medicare, as any other joint replacement would be. As with any other procedure, we highly encourage you to connect with your surgeon’s billing person to confirm coverage and take care of any necessary pre-authorizations
