MMI receives de novo nod for microsurgery robot: Medical Microinstruments (MMI) received de novo authorisation for a robotic system that enables surgeons to reconnect blood vessels. The Flood and Drug Administration authorised the device, Symani Surgical System, for soft tissue manipulation to perform microsurgery to restore blood flow and redirect fluid during recovery. CEO Mark Toland said the commercial availability of Symani may increase a number of physicians who perform complicated microsurgical procedures. MMI plans to immediately launch the system in the U.S. #medtech #denovo #microsurgery #robotics

"A beating heart makes for a formidable surgical arena, but a new robotic catheter could someday equip surgeons to operate in the cardiac environment with greater ease. The device, designed by a team of physicians and engineers at Boston University, possesses shape-shifting capabilities that allow it to be maneuvered through complex anatomy while maintaining enough stability to accomplish surgical objectives within the heart. In a study published in Science Advances, the authors demonstrated the robot's ability to assist with two mock cardiac procedures using animal tissue. The study authors suggest that, with further development, the robotic catheter could make many common heart surgeries far safer and less taxing on the body." #robotics #heartsurgery

The market for cutting-edge robotic technology used in surgical procedures is referred to as the surgical robotic systems market. These tools are made to help surgeons execute minimally invasive procedures with more control, precision, and visualization. Due to their advantages over conventional open operations, such as less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and fewer problems, minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) have become more and more common. The increasing desire for less invasive procedures among people is one of the important reasons driving the market. The surgical robotic systems are a popular option for both patients and healthcare professionals because they allow surgeons to carry out minimally invasive procedures with more control and precision. By 2027, the market for surgical robotic systems is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 14.6%. Check out more details on our report https://lnkd.in/g-xbPZ4F # surgical #robotics #

📌 A multifunctional soft robot for cardiac interventions Excerpt: In minimally invasive #endovascular #procedures, surgeons rely on catheters with low dexterity and high aspect ratios to reach an anatomical target. However, the environment inside the beating heart presents a combination of challenges unique to few anatomic locations, making it difficult for interventional tools to maneuver dexterously and apply substantial forces on an intracardiac target. We demonstrate a #millimeter-scale #soft #robotic #platform that can deploy and self-stabilize at the entrance to the heart, and guide existing interventional tools toward a target site. In two exemplar intracardiac procedures within the right atrium, the robotic platform provides enough dexterity to reach multiple anatomical targets, enough stability to maintain constant contact on motile targets, and enough mechanical leverage to generate newton-level forces. Because the device addresses ongoing challenges in minimally invasive intracardiac intervention, it may enable the further development of catheter-based interventions.

Johnson & Johnson MedTech plans to submit its Ottava surgical robot for FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) next year. Ottava promises unmatched flexibility and control in surgeries, challenging the dominance of Intuitive Surgical. Despite some delays, Martin Buehler, J&J's global head of robotics R&D, hinted at upcoming updates, expressing excitement about the next generation of surgery. Hani Abouhalka, J&J's Robotics & Digital chair, emphasized the need for multiple players to advance surgical robotics, acknowledging its challenges. Ottava's design includes four robotic arms integrated into a standard-size surgical table, enhancing flexibility while simplifying workflows and collaboration. With a "twin motion" feature, surgical teams can address clinical needs seamlessly. Dr. Erik Wilson highlighted Ottava's potential to provide consistent and reliable surgical instruments. This reflects J&J's commitment to improving the surgical experience and outcomes. #SurgicalRobotics #JNJHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #FutureOfHealthcare #Healthcare Source: https://lnkd.in/gXkEh4Zp

Johnson & Johnson has a new surgical robot system in development, the Ottava, and are planning to submit an application to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to start medical trials in the second half of 2024. "The company’s Ottava technology incorporates four robotic arms into a standard-size surgical table. J&J said this unified architecture allows for an invisible design, with the robotic arms available when needed or stowed under the surgical table when not. The design removes barriers to movement and collaboration in robotic operating rooms, according to the company." We look forward to seeing what a difference this new technology may make to the field of robotic surgery. #RoboticSurgery #JohnsonAndJohnson #Ottava #SurgicalRobotics #AdvanceSurgical
