we're quietly starting a med-tech revolution in the heart of Yorkshire
our mission is to deliver accessible innovation designed to improve patient outcomes
Our aim is to help surgeons improve outcomes in Total Knee Replacements
Our name, Eventum, means “outcome” in Latin, as patient outcomes are at the heart of our culture, and why our mission is to “deliver accessible innovation designed to improve patient outcomes”. With this as our focus we believe we help healthcare providers to deliver on the triple aim of improving the patient experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita costs of health care.
currently, only 80% of patients are satisfied with their knee after Total Knee Replacement.
The solution? We believe that the key to improving success rates is a greater focus on the positioning of the kneecap, which plays a significant role in the overall function of the knee.

The first and only device in the industry to provide intraoperative data in real-time on the patellofemoral joint.
- Our aim is to help surgeons reduce the number of dissatisfied patients, following on from Total Knee Replacement.
- Quadsense was designed to provide surgeons with new information to make more informed decisions during surgery.
- Quadsense is a comparative tool that provides information on the effect of resurfacing the femur and tibia, on the force through the patellofemoral joint.
- The technology was developed with the support of global KOL Surgeons
our story
Established in September 2020, Eventum is an award-winning Med Tech SME from the picturesque region of Yorkshire, England. Our mission revolves around addressing Orthopaedic problems with innovative solutions. Our team at Eventum is comprised of pragmatic and solution-oriented individuals who are passionate about enhancing patient outcomes. So far, we have achieved significant milestones, securing substantial funding from Mercia, Orthopaedic Surgeons, and Angel Investors during both the Seed and Series A rounds.
Our commitment led us on a relentless journey towards obtaining ISO 13485 Certification and acquiring the UKCA mark for our first patented product, Quadsense, which has gained endorsements from eminent surgeons worldwide. In a remarkable span of just over 18 months, Quadsense evolved from a mere concept to its first clinical use. Presently, we are pushing hard towards its commercial launch in the UK while simultaneously pursuing FDA approval in the United States.

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, London
"There is considerable evidence to suggest that surgeons currently do not have the ability to reliably predict the correct quads tension or soft tissue tension around the front of the knee which is the source of the continuing dissatisfaction with knee surgery and solving this problem would represent a very significant step forward in clinical care and treatment of patients worldwide with knee arthritis. Eventum’s first product is a solution which is particularly aimed at improving decision making when operating on the patellofemoral joint, the source of ongoing pain after knee replacement. It is an innovative project that comes out of a real clinical need and is designed by experts in the field with the involvement of surgeons who are expert knee surgeons."
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Wrightington
"Although total knee replacement implants survive very well in the long term, patients' function and satisfaction with the implant often fall below expectations. Studies suggest that approximately 25% of patients are dissatisfied after knee replacement surgery and many of these patients have ongoing anterior knee pain. Eventum are developing an innovative product that has the potential to address a key issue with the patellofemoral joint during total knee replacement surgery, so that the biomechanics of this joint (which is one of the main parts of the total knee replacement) are accurately recreated. This should then improve the function of the new knee joint and improve patient function and satisfaction."
Assistant Professor & Director of Adult Reconstruction Research, Pittsburgh
"Current total knee replacement technology does not allow for ligament balancing throughout the range of motion and the patellofemoral joint has been neglected as major contributor to knee joint kinematics and stability. For the first time, Eventum are developing a device that will make objective balancing of the patellofemoral joint a possibility to help re-establish patient specific knee joint and extensor mechanism kinematics. This novel device can be incorporated into current manual or robotic-assisted total knee replacement techniques and will ultimately improve functional outcomes for total knee patients.”
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Guildford
"TKRs have made great strides over the last decade in terms of Kinematics and biomaterial improvements, but a significant proportion of patients still are dissatisfied with their implants. A large number seem to describe issues with the patellofemoral articulation as the main issue. Other than alterations to the trochlea groove component of the femoral prosthesis very little has been done to address this aspect. My view is that Eventum is developing a product with the potential to allow surgeons to make informed alterations to the parts of the technique where previously we have only been able to make a best guess. It’s ability to fit into any workflow and with any implant is also a huge bonus in my view. It’s the only piece of technology which I have seen that hopes to address the last ‘unexplored’ aspect of knee replacement surgery and make a meaningful improvement in patient outcomes.”
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Harrogate
"At last - a company committed to help solve the problems of the 'third space' in knee arthroplasty. Patient dissatisfaction remains a significant issue following total knee replacement despite huge focus on alignment, biomechanics and assistive technology (most recently robotic). A substantial proportion complain of persistent anterior knee pain despite resurfacing. Eventum should be congratulated on grasping the initiative in an area which has seen little innovation in decades as we all strive to improve patient outcomes."
Managing Director Mercia Ventures
"From our first meeting with the Eventum team we were fully aligned with their focus on the patient coupled with their deep orthopaedic industry expertise. We believe the Eventum technology will be the next additional important step for surgeons to help further improve patient outcomes"
