According to the company, patients whose knees have been balanced through the use of VERASENSE™ show statistically significant improvements in joint function, pain, activity level and patient satisfaction. According to The Miami Herald, OrthoSensor, has already raised about $53 million in financing, bringing its total funding to about $72 million.
