Every surgical robotics company needs VISIE, they just don't realize it yet.
VISIE™ Inc. Announces Continuous Anatomic Auto Tracking (CAAT) for Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (press release)
VISIE Inc., formerly known as Advanced Scanners, announces it has successfully demonstrated Continuous Anatomic Auto Tracking (CAAT) for robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) in its Austin, TX headquarters.
Continuous Anatomic Auto Tracking (CAAT)
CAAT is a proprietary, highly promising technological leap that gives the power of vision to surgical robotic and navigation systems designed for orthopedic, neuro, cranial, and spine surgery, including RA-TKA, a type of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS).
This new capability, which builds upon VISIE’s testing to register the distal femur and proximal tibia to a pre-operative CT scan in a fraction of second, is intended to enable VISIE’s 3D scanners to continuously track the two primary bones that make up the knee joint as they move in space, like they do in RA-TKA.
The company’s goal is for CAAT to allow VISIE’s scanners to move an integrated surgical robotic arm in sync with a knee’s motion during surge...
