Delayed Launch of Arvis Next-Generation Platform and Market Impact
The launch of the next-generation Arvis platform has been delayed by approximately 6 months due to software and hardware integration challenges.
Management reports that the delay has pushed back the commercial timeline, but early surgeon feedback remains positive and encouraging.
The new features, including a lighter headset and improved visualization, are expected to significantly enhance surgical precision and expand the platform's capabilities.
The delay has temporarily impacted sales of the Arvis system, contributing to a year-over-year decline in Recon segment growth.
Despite the delay, the company remains confident that the upgraded platform will be a meaningful addition to their portfolio and drive future growth.
The company is actively working to maximize the potential of the delayed platform and explore new applications such as soft tissue balancing for knees.
