MEASUREXN PRESENTS
Hip. is a proposed optical measurement aid for assessing changes in leg length during total hip replacement. Single-use reference tags. A reusable reader. A baseline to compare against.
THE PROPOSED WORKFLOW
The proposed Hip. workflow: a fresh tag set, a baseline reading and a comparison during hip replacement.
The proposed Hip. pack contains a HIP REF tag and a THIGH tag for one hip-replacement procedure. Their roles and final attachment method require validation.
THE HIP. MEASUREMENT DEMO
Open the pack, establish a baseline and explore a simulated reading. Then close the set and start fresh.
Waiting for a demo baseline
A demonstration of the intended workflow. No camera, patient data or actual measurement.
The values show relative marker movement, not anatomical leg length. Accuracy and uncertainty have not been established. Set closure is simulated.
THE NEXT LAYER / VOICE + SOUND
Proposed voice control for the optical reader. A separate research channel for instrument vibrations. Two ways to explore a more intuitive Hip. workflow.
A proposed voice interface could let the surgeon request an optical reading without touching the display. The optical reference would still need to be valid.
Ready for a simulated voice command
Voice is simulated. Your microphone stays off. A confirmation tone would acknowledge a capture, not a clinical outcome.
A proposed reusable contact sensor could record instrument vibrations alongside optical observations. The research question: how do those signals change as an implant is seated?
Different signal. Meaning still to establish.
Generated examples, not patient recordings. Acoustic analysis is a separate research direction; it does not establish leg length, implant stability or fracture risk.
Passive optical tags for one procedure. The proposed voice and acoustic electronics would sit in reusable accessories.
DESIGNED AROUND SINGLE USE
A proposed disposable measurement interface, supported by reusable equipment.
Two proposed marker roles: a pelvic reference and a thigh marker. A fresh set for one procedure. The number, geometry, fixation and packaging require validation.
INTENDED SINGLE-USE COMPONENTAn optical reader and display would provide capture, calibration and the measurement view. The workflow must be validated as a complete system.
PROPOSED REUSABLE EQUIPMENTDEVELOPMENT, WITH PURPOSE
Hip. is the first product concept from MeasureXn, developed for discussion with orthopaedic surgeons.
No. The visuals and demonstration describe an early concept. Hip. is not available for clinical use or purchase, and no clinical performance or regulatory approval is claimed.
The tags would provide identifiable optical references. A calibrated reader and software would measure their movement. Relating that movement to anatomical leg length requires a defined clinical method, stable attachment and validation.
The proposed tag set is dedicated to one procedure and then retired. The reader and display are reusable. Sterility, packaging, disposal and any software enforcement of single use are design requirements still to be established.
Voice control is proposed as a way to request optical readings without touching a screen. A separate contact-sensing research channel would explore instrument vibration patterns. This website simulates both; it does not listen to you. Acoustic signals are not used here to determine leg length, implant stability or fracture risk.
The intended clinical measurement, anatomical references, attachment stability, accuracy and repeatability, visibility under operating conditions, and the sterile workflow. A controlled bench prototype comes before patient use. The two-tag layout and the skin placement in the concept image are illustrative; a stable relationship to the underlying anatomy has not been demonstrated.
