The demand for minimal invasive surgery (MIS) with more rapid patient recovery creates an increasing need of high-performance technology, based on computer
and robot assisted surgery.

considered to make a substantial contribution in the
challenge of improving the technology for MIS applications
in orthopedic trauma surgery. Furthermore, the PinTrace platform
has a fully open configuration and therefore enables adaption to

different navigation systems and input sources, such as CT, MR and US (including fusion of those).

With CT, MR and US input – including fusion and AI-supported imaging – Medical Robotics is
aiming for expanding the application-range within the following areas:
- Precision Cancer Medicine (PCM).
- Spinal and pelvic surgery.
- Knee and hip replacement.

Advantages of FNA biopsy compared to traditional core needle biopsy (CNB) is:
- Significant reduction of risk for tumor seeding and cell dissemination.
- Significant reduction of organ trauma and inflammation.
- Replacing time-consuming tissue diagnostics with fast molecular diagnostics.

To shorten time to market the PCM-application – Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy – will be
prioritized.

FNA biopsy with robot assistance will increase repeatability, precision and control of needle placement
(precision placement) as well as operator independency (vs hand hold).
