The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared a 3D imaging compatible navigation and robotic targeting spine surgery system.
The Fusion Robotics System from Fusion Robotics LLC addresses the key limitations of current spinal navigation and robotics systems by offering greater procedural efficiency to clinicians with significantly less expense. The company plans to market its system broadly across the United States this year.
"We appreciate the partnership developed with FDA to rigorously validate safety and accuracy. Next, we look forward to partnering with clinicians and hospitals to increase efficiency, reduce cost and broadly expand the application of robotics to treat patients," said Brad Clayton, CEO of Fusion Robotics.
"Since the introduction of robotics in spine surgery, the questions of economics and efficiency have hindered the widespread adoption of this technology," said Fusion Robotics Chief Medical Officer Kevin Foley, M.D. "With this clearance, and the rapid development of our fluoroscopy-integrated system, we're working quickly towards making robotics available to many more surgeons, in a form better suited to their practices."
Fusion Robotics LLC is a medical device manufacturer headquartered in Boulder Colo., focused on the research, development and commercialization of robotics technologies for spinal surgical applications. Working closely with partners Interventional Systems and Intellijoint Surgical, the company's focus is to provide pragmatic and economical navigation and robotics solutions for broad clinical use in spine surgery.
