Meril this week unveiled its Misso surgical robotic for simplifying orthopedic procedures.
The India-based firm introduced on LinkedIn that it’s creating a complete knee surgical robotic. It designed Misso to assist surgeons with personalised pre-planning and exact chopping for joint substitute surgical procedure.
In accordance with Meril, Misso has an optical monitoring sensor, a six-axis articulated robotic arm and “superior” security techniques. The surgical robotic system helps physicians carry out real-time hole checks and modify a surgical plan intraoperatively.
Numerous chopping choices can be found on the Misso, together with full and partial chopping primarily based on surgeon desire. Chopping guides will not be required and the system can carry out a tibial reduce and a completely completed femur with all of the cuts, together with peg holes.
Meril designed Misso with bone motion monitoring to make sure security throughout procedures. If bone motion is noticed, the resection course of stops. The resection will proceed with computerized restoration of the bone place. If the robotic system’s instruments contact the affected person or different object, the collaborative robotic arm will instantly cease transferring.
Misso makes use of optical tracking-based navigation and robotic help to make sure correct ends in shaping and aligning synthetic knee joint parts. The corporate goals to enhance post-operative outcomes, scale back issues, and promote quicker affected person restoration.
Meril joins the rising surgical robotics market and appears to compete with orthopedic surgical robotic builders like Stryker and Zimmer Biomet. Stryker launched its next-gen Mako Complete Knee surgical robotics platform in March 2023 after initially launching the total-knee platform in 2017. In February, Zimmer Biomet’s Rosa surgical robotic platform is cleared for shoulder and hip substitute procedures. The FDA additionally cleared it for partial knee substitute in April 2021.
