RS Mandaya Royal Puri has further solidified its position as Indonesia’s leading orthopedic center, following its official designation by global medical technology company Smith+Nephew as the country’s first and only CORI Robotic Knee Reference Center.
The hospital also reached a major milestone—successfully performing 100 robotic knee surgeries using the CORI navigation system.
“Mandaya has successfully performed 100 robotic-assisted knee surgeries in just 10 months and became the first to perform partial knee replacement (UKA) with robotic assistance,” said Erwin Suyanto, Public Relations of Mandaya Hospital Group.
“Some patients are not only able to walk again but have even returned to high-impact sports such as tennis,” he added.
The inauguration of RS Mandaya Royal Puri as a CORI Robotic Knee Reference Center was held on Saturday (August 9) with a ceremony and an educational talk show titled “Differences Between Conventional Knee Replacement and Robotic Navigation Surgery.” The event was attended by the hospital’s internationally certified orthopedic Hip & Knee subspecialists: Dr. Paulus Ronald Hibono, Sp.OT(K), Dr. William Chandra, Sp.OT(K), Dr. Rahendra Pratama, Sp.OT(K), and Dr. Ardi Setiawan, Sp.OT(K).
Also present was international guest speaker Associate Professor Pruk Chaiyakit, MD from Thailand, a renowned orthopedic surgeon with extensive expertise in hip and knee surgery.
OXINIUM: A Durable Knee Implant for a Better Quality of Life
As a CORI Robotic Knee Reference Center, RS Mandaya Royal Puri integrates the CORI robotic navigation system with the revolutionary OXINIUM knee implant—a synergy that enables more precise knee replacement procedures, reduces surgical risks, and promotes faster, more comfortable recovery for patients.
OXINIUM is an exclusive knee implant material from Smith+Nephew, engineered for long-term durability and comfort. Made from zirconium metal through a special oxidation process, OXINIUM is proven to be nine times stronger than conventional implant materials.
One of the key advantages of the CORI system at RS Mandaya Royal Puri is its compatibility with OXINIUM implants, which are designed to last up to 30 years. Furthermore, after 10 million cycles of wear testing, OXINIUM surfaces remain 160 times smoother than standard implants—significantly reducing joint wear and postoperative discomfort. Its high biocompatibility minimizes allergic reactions, making it an ideal choice for Asian patients.
CORI is the only robotic knee surgery system in the world compatible with OXINIUM implants. Using real-time 3D mapping of the patient’s knee anatomy, surgeons can place the implant with exceptional accuracy—without the need for preoperative CT scans.
RS Mandaya Royal Puri: Indonesia’s Premier Referral Center for CORI and OXINIUM Technology
RS Mandaya Royal Puri’s designation as a national referral center for CORI Robotic Knee Surgery is not only due to its advanced technology but also its highly skilled medical team and world-class facilities.
For example, Dr. Paulus is the only Indonesian representative who attended the CORI Robotic Summit in Germany and has also participated in CORI robotic surgery workshops in Thailand. Similarly, Dr. William has completed advanced knee surgery training at the prestigious Lyon School of Knee Surgery in France.
With the combination of cutting-edge CORI robotic navigation, the durability of OXINIUM implants, and an internationally certified orthopedic Hip & Knee team, RS Mandaya Royal Puri delivers personalized, precise, and long-lasting knee replacement solutions—offering renewed hope for patients to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
