Up close
Smith+Nephew CORI is a compact, handheld robotic system for knee replacement surgery. Without needing a pre-operative CT scan, it builds a 3D model of the patient's knee during surgery, helps the surgeon plan alignment and implant size in real time, and controls a handheld burr so bone is removed only within the plan. It covers partial, total and some revision knee procedures. The successor to NAVIO, it is being followed by CORI XT (first cases June 2026).
