Meril Life Sciences’ Misso surgical robot is specifically designed to help surgeons with personalized pre-planning and precise cutting for joint replacements.
According to the manufacturer, the system’s agility enables medical professionals to adapt to unforeseen difficulties or differences in a patient’s anatomy, guaranteeing the best possible alignment and fit of the artificial joint components.procedure that involves replacing a damaged or worn-out knee joint with an artificial joint composed of metal and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This surgery is essential for patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis.
According to Meril, despite the increase in surgeries, the annual need for knee replacements is 7-8 times higher than the current rate.The robotic solution offered by Meril consists of a ‘Vision’ cart, a robotic arm, and a Misso planner. The cart acts as a potent computing core, with a 27-inch medical-grade touchThe next-generation robotic arm integrates intelligent sensors for adaptive performance.
This high level of precision is crucial for optimal implant placement and joint function. According to its developers, safety is paramount, and the system includes enhanced features that halt operations if bone movement exceeds 4mm, significantly reducing the risk of complications.
