China-based surgical robot developer Tuodao Medical Technology Co., Ltd has received marketing approval for its percutaneous puncture surgery robot, known as the puncture surgery navigation and positioning system NP100. This approval marks a significant advancement in the field of surgical robotics within the country.
Puncture Surgery and Its Challenges
Puncture surgery is a critical method for diagnosing surgical tumors, requiring a high level of clinical experience from medical practitioners. Traditional manual puncture methods are prone to errors due to patient breathing and tissue drift, which can lead to misplacement and complications. These challenges highlight the need for precise navigation and positioning systems in surgical procedures.
NP100’s Innovative Technology and Benefits
The NP100 system features in-house developed optical pressure dual source real-time tracking technology, which enables the real-time monitoring of patient position and respiratory phase changes. This innovative feature enhances operation safety and improves the accuracy of puncture procedures. By addressing the limitations of traditional puncture methods, Tuodao Medical’s NP100 has the potential to revolutionize the approach to diagnosing and treating surgical tumors.-Fineline Info & Tech
