"The first operation has now been successfully performed at Art Clinic with Integrum's OPRATM Implant System. The operation was performed "by the book" and another amputee can look forward to a new life" says Professor Rickard Brånemark, Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the Board of Integrum AB.

‍

The operation took place at the clinic in Jönköping, together with a team from Art Clinic and Integrum. Operations like this require a unique collaboration between orthopaedic and plastic surgeons and demand highly specialised care.

‍

"Today, Art Clinic and Integrum have taken a joint step into the future with the help of surgery, research and technology," says Niclas Andersson, Head Physician at Art Clinic.

‍

Integrum AB has been active in the field of bone anchored, osseointegrated prostheses for over 30 years. Their OPRATM Implant System is used in health care all over the world. Art Clinic and Integrum's collaboration has built a 'Center of Excellence' in osseointegrated prostheses, making Art Clinic the only private clinic in the Nordic region that can offer this type of prosthesis.

‍

For the future, the idea is that the Art Clinic will find more patients to help with the new technology through various efforts and channels, and develop the centre forward together with Integrum.
