Distal Reality

IDTechEx interviewed Mark Salada, Founder and CTO of Distal Reality. They are developing and launching a new haptics app as part of longer term ambitions in developing a variety of new haptics interfaces.

Catheter Navigation: The Fastest Growing Sector of Robotic Surgery

IDTechEx reports that the robotic surgery market will reach over $12 billion by 2030. Within this industry catheter navigation is an emerging, but lesser known application, that is rapidly gaining traction. IDTechEx's findings are detailed in the recently published report "Innovations in Robotic Surgery 2020-2030: Technologies, Players & Markets".

Dissecting the Robotic Surgery Market

In its recently published report "Innovations in Robotic Surgery 2020-2030", IDTechEx forecasts that the robotic surgery market will reach over $12 billion by 2030. The report breaks down the market landscape and emerging technologies in the field of robotic surgery.

Galen Robotics

Galen Robotics is developing a single-platform solution, a Robotic ENT Microsurgical System (REMS) called Galen ES, to aid surgeons across several disciplines with minimal disturbance to existing workflows.

Auris Health

In March 2018, Auris Health also became a threat to Intuitive Surgical when its catheter-based Monarch Platform gained FDA clearance.

Transenterix

A key turning point in the surgical robot space came in October 2017 when TransEnterix received FDA clearance for its Senhance Surgical Robotic System, which is used in minimally invasive gynaecologic, colorectal, hernia repair, and cholecystectomy procedures.

Surgical robots: a market overview

This article provides an update on the use of robots in surgeries. This is already nearly a $4Bn market.

Preparing for the surgical robot boom

With greater investment from healthcare organisations and surgical robot technology about to become generic, the conditions are perfect for a boom in the surgical robotics market. But how can design engineers and technical medical staff ensure these new systems operate reliably and safely?
