Genourob, headquartered in Laval, France, is a French medical equipment manufacturer. The company specializes in providing medical devices for analyzing various ligamentous structures and rehabilitating the knee. Mr. Stéphane Nouveau currently serves as the company's CEO.
History
In 2007, Genourob was founded by a team of specialists, including medical professionals and university partners, to develop an automated arthrometer for analyzing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Over the following years, the company developed other medical devices for analyzing other knee ligamentous structures and for knee rehabilitation.
In 2015, Genourob received an innovation prize in France for its development of medical devices innovating in patient management for patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries.[1]
Arthrometers
GNRB
The GNRB is an automated arthrometer/laximeter for analyzing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).[2] Its technology is based on the Lachman Test, a manual test for diagnosing a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
Testing of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) involves applying anterior translation to the tibia while keeping the femur locked, stressing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). A displacement sensor collects data on tibial displacement, generating compliance curves (the inverse of stiffness curves). This dynamic testing analyzes the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and knee stability.[3]
This device is used in pre- and post-surgery phases, providing objective evaluation of knee stability and analysis of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).[4]
The GNRB is often considered the successor to the KT-1000, offering improved precision and reproducibility for ACL and knee stability analysis.[5]
ROTAM
The ROTAM is an arthrometer/laximeter designed to analyze the knee's peripheral ligamentous structures. This medical device induces medial or lateral rotation on the tibia. Analysis is performed by locking the femur to isolate tibial movement and calculate the degree of rotation. Higher rotation suggests injury to the knee's peripheral ligamentous structures.[6]
Distribution
Genourob's medical devices are primarily distributed in Europe, North America,[7] and Asia. The GNRB arthrometer (Genourob's first product) is mainly implemented in France.
