Modus V (robot surgeon)

2017: Announcement

On October 9, 2017 the Canadian producer of the medical equipment Synaptive Medical was provided by the robot microscope of the second generation Modus V who comes for change to the previous robotic BrightMatter Drive system of 2016.

Modus V is a high-power digital microscope based on a robotic hand at the heart of which — technology of the Canadarm manipulator used on the International Space Station (ISS).

As the producer says, Modus V sets new standards for robotic neurosurgical transactions. A system is equipped with the strongest optics which is available today in the market that allows to receive the detailed image of internal anatomy of the patient and increases accuracy at low-invasive surgical interventions.

The neurosurgical robot microscope with technology from space is provided

In a system advanced technology of tracking surgical instruments with automatic focusing is applied, and the movements of a robotic hand can be programmed in advance not to distract during the procedure of surgical intervention.

Thanks to the improved mobility the robotic hand is capable to cover bigger space and to move freely around the patient that increases convenience to the surgeon when carrying out transactions.

Besides, in comparison with the previous system, Modus V occupies the smaller space that provides big maneuverability in the operating room and fast deployment of the equipment.

The president and the chief strategy officer of Synaptive Medical Cameron Piron noted that during creation of Modus V responses of neurosurgeons which used the system of first generation BrightMatter Drive and also Modus V prototypes were considered. The top manager thanked specialists for cooperation and said that the company looks forward from surgical community of responses about a new system.^[1]
