As we already commented in our article, “I want a robot for spinal surgery! What are the best options?” there is a growing awareness among the physicians and patients regarding the benefits associated with the usage of spine surgery robots.This situation has directly impacted in the growth of the spine robotic market that today accounts to USD 330.85 million by 2027 with CAGR of 16.0% 2020-2027.
Today, robotics is a rising trend in which many companies are investing. In spinal surgery, although the leadership and popularity (See or POLL results) is from Globus Medical (Excelsius GPS) followed by Medtronic (Mazor), Brainlab (Cirq) and Zimmer Biomet (Rosa), other companies plan to launch robots in 2021 and 2022.
1.- TiRobot® Orthopaedic Robotic System: The system developed by Beijing Tinavi Medical Technologies is called the TiRobot. It incorporates 3D imaging and optical navigation, meaning it can use a 3D scan of the patients to plan the exact location of the surgery, drill holes and insert screws.J&J signed up agreement with Tinavi (October 2019) to co-market and distribute TiRobot in China.TiRobot is the only arm-based robotic technology with multiple indications approved for use in spine and trauma in China.
2.-CUVIS-spine: CUVIS-spine is developed by the technology of CUREXO a medical robot specialized company.Spinal surgery robot ‘CUVIS-spine’ is a next-gen spinal surgery robot that guides the insertion of a pedicle screw according to the surgery plan. It uses a high precision robot arm, wireless one-step, navigation based on a real-time OTS sensor to provide precise, safe and faster surgery compared to traditional manual surgery. Also, it minimizes the filming and reduces the radiation exposure of both patients and medical staff.
3.-eCential CoBot: The CoBot then intends to automatically align the pedicle targeting instruments on the chosen trajectory, leaving the surgeon in control of the workflow in the sterile zone.The robotic arm is currently not available for sale, CE marking is in progress. Last September, SIGNUS and eCential Robotics announced long-term partnership offering an optimized solution combining navigation, robotics and implant systems for spine surgeries.
4.-Accelus Robot: Established in 2021 through the combination of Integrity Implants and Fusion Robotics. The company is focused on providing its proprietary Adaptive Geometry technology with pragmatic and economical navigation and robotic solutions with broad clinical use in spine surgery. A recently published study showed the system has a significantly shorter procedure workflow duration while maintaining the same accuracy as the most commonly used robotic platform. With its ultra-lightweight, near field camera and four-pound robotic arm attached to the surgical bed, the system allows broad tracking of instrumentation while minimizing line-of-sight issues. The entire system is self-contained in a lightweight 30″30″ cart, providing a minimal footprint ideal for hospitals and ASCs with efficient set-up and breakdown, as well as integrated cleaning and storage.
