Surgical robots have altered the surgeons practice techniques and how patients were recovering in the past. Robot operation makes it possible for surgeons to be highly precise during complicated processes. These robotic surgeries are combining the sophisticated computer technology with the qualified surgeons’ knowledge. The robot gives surgeon an enhanced skill level and enables them to work within tiny areas of body that would otherwise require open surgery. This procedure is very beneficial for the patients because it reduces the chances of complication, is painless, requires shorter hospital stay and provides faster recovery. Today, many hospitals are adopting these technologies for surgeries and many renowned companies are launching their robotic surgery systems.
Medtronic announced the launch of their new Mazor X Spinal surgery system in the United States with robotic navigation. At Abbott Northwestern Hospital on Tuesday, spine surgeon Dr. Eiman Shafa illustrated that how this new system combines robotics and in-room navigation to exactly place traditional surgical tools, creating routine spine cases more effective and complicated cases more unrelenting. She also added that this device will help them to do the surgeries with less collateral damages and will also help the surgeons to be less- invasive.
Mazor X is a piece of long-lasting hospital machinery which requires single-use products for each operation. The firm believes that incorporating the Mazor X robot in the spine industry with its StealthStation navigation, O-arm imaging devices, and their spine implants will generate a long-term competitive advantage for them. Medtronic announced the acquisition of the maker of the device Mazor Robotics in December.
Medtronic announced that they are going to launch the Stealth Edition in US in January and system that was illustrated in hospital was the older version of Mazor X. The robotic arm of Mazor X could use a mannequin to perform a previously programmed surgical scheme. As the robotic arm swung into the surgical field above the mannequin, the robotic arm emitted green light and a faint warning tone. Using navigation data beamed from a component with dual side-by-side sensors, the device can place a tool holder above the patient at the exact height and angle so that surgeons could transfer a guidewire and manual bone drill into the predicament. These new systems are replicable and increases performance in the operating room.
Data Bridge Market Research published a report on Global Surgical Robots Market according to which the market is set to witness a healthy CAGR of 14.1% in the forecast period of 2019- 2026.
