Medineering Robotic Endoscopy supports surgeons during minimally invasive ENT interventions by holding and moving the endoscope. The solution is specifically designed for the small and complex working spaces in ear, nose and throat.
The modular robotics solution consists of three components: The Positioning Arm, the application-specific Endoscope Robot and a foot pedal as control device.
The positioning arm is fixed directly to the OR-table and ready-to-use within only 60 seconds. Perfectly positioned touch buttons and distinct visual feedback provide for a professional user experience.
