Butterfly Network announced a product co-development deal with surgical robotics startup Mendaera, in which the startup will build custom robotics around Butterfly’s ultrasound-on-a-chip technology to create a new system designed for better surgical precision and consistency. Both partners expect to complete the product’s FDA submission by 2025.
The FDA cleared Levita Magnetics’ new abdominal surgery platform, which combines the company’s proprietary magnetic surgical technology with robotic assistance. The system is designed to deliver all the same patient benefits as its original magnetic surgery system — such as reduced incisions, less pain, fewer scars and speedier recovery — while also giving surgeons better control of their instruments.
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
Cambridge Medical Robotics seeks to bring robot-assisted surgery to a bigger range of surgical procedures than is normally associated with surgical robotics.
Three experts in robotic surgery techniques discuss the state of the industry and how researchers are working to improve it.
The use of robotic surgical systems is expanding rapidly, but hospitals, patients and regulators may not be getting enough information to determine whether the high tech approach is worth its cost. Problems resulting from surgery using robotic equipment—including deaths—have been reported late, inaccurately or not at all to the Food and Drug Administration, according to […]
