ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE GMK Efficiency single use instruments ■ Have neutral environmental impact when compared to the average CO2 equivalent annual emission of a hospital using conventional metal re-usable instrumentation [5] INNOVATION THAT DELIVERS ■ Save up to 435 litres of clean water for each TKR by completely eliminating the need to wash and sterilise traditional metal instrument trays [6-8] EFFICIENCY KNEEPACK: THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR TKR All the components needed to perform a Total Knee Replacement delivered terminally sterile in a single, lightweight box to streamline instrument management and to shorten surgery time. Experience: ■ The Stability of GMK Sphere medially stabilized total knee implant [9-12] ■ The Accuracy of MyKnee patient matched technology [13- 7] ■ The Optimized Logistics and Cost-effectiveness of GMK Efficiency single use instrumentation [1-4] [1] Siegel G.
