The growing awareness among the physicians and patients regarding the benefits associated with the usage of spine surgery robots has been directly impacting the growth of the market. As we have already commented in another article, Spine surgery robots market account to USD 330.85 million by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 16.0% 2020-2027. It seems clear that robotics is the future and my hospital wants to acquire one: What are the best options available?
Please visit our Section Technology where you can find extended information related to the following options:
1.-ExcelsiusGPS® Robotic Navigation platform:(Globus Medical) The ExcelsiusGPS® Robotic Navigation platform is a robotic surgical aid for navigating and facilitating surgical access, implant sizing, positioning and placement. It develops surgical robotic guidance technologies integrated to digital 3D imaging for the spine. Its technology enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive and percutaneous surgical procedures.
2.-Mazor X Stealth Edition Robotic Guidance System:(Medtronic) The Mazor X™ Stealth Edition robotic guidance platform combines advanced software, robotic technology, navigation, and instrumentation to help you to deliver high-quality care and supports your commitment to accurate and precise trajectory guidance for your surgical procedures. We give you the algorithm to look beyond individual pedicles to construct design and provide you with cutting-edge robotic and navigation technology to achieve your surgical goals.
3.- Cirq: Cirq® (BrainLab) , a universal platform for robotic tasks, serving a range of neurosurgical indications. Compact Cirq spinal module simplifies spinal fusion procedures by allowing the surgeon to focus first on alignment. Once Cirq is locked firmly in place, surgeons are free to focus on subsequent surgical steps with both hands.
4.-ROSA® robot: (Zimmer Biomet) The ROSA® robot is fully involved in establishing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improves the whole experience of surgery. It is a source of extra benefits for the patient, the surgeon and the health facility.
We want to know your opinion: What robot do you consider to be the most complete and therefore should it be the one to buy a hospital? Please VOTE in Our Weekly POLL! Thank you!
2. Mazor x stealth
Seriously? I believe you didn’t check anything else…
ExcelsiusGPS – Best platform!!
Based on software capabilities with individual segmentation vs global, I believe Mazor..
ExcelsiusGPS does individual segmentation and has a better interface that the surgeon can actually use.
Excelsius does not have individual segmentation. No other platform on the market has it except for Mazor. Mazor/Medtronic hold all the patents for individual segmentation of vertebral bodies so globus would run into legality issues if that were true.
Accelus LEAP Robot
ExcelsiusGPS, it doesn’t mount to the patient or the bed. Safer and can be moved to another OR after it has been used. Utilization and safety matter to hospitals, you have to be able to do more than one or two cases a day.
Globus being “floor mounted” really doesn’t make a lot of sense. It leaves way more room for error not being attached to the patient or the bed. From an efficiency standpoint the robot is typically executed first and taken off the bed when screws are finished being executed accurately so going room to room isn’t an issue.
Mazor X—local segment identification plus mounting directly to patient (as opposed to Globus) are huge benefits over competition. If the patient is bumped, the software and nav are able to correct.
Where is the new LEAP System by Accelus?
Nowhere
Abe, Mazor necessary fixation to the table and the patient makes this system really inconvenient to use and also makes its safety questionable (I have heard of several cases of falling off the table) …
Software is ok – but most things are not used – know it – done it
It’s a pity that medtronic went in the wrong direction and instead of continuing the cool design of renaissance – came up with such a “weirdo”
Technology is not ready for robots. The next 10 years will belong to Navigation. The advancements in Nav will pave the way for robots. Robot cases take longer to set up, register, and one function, pedicle screw placement. Definitely helps with unusual anatomy case but in my opinion, that’s it.
