Anovo Surgical System

BESCHREIBUNG

Anovo Surgical System ist ein Medical-Robots von Momentis Surgical. Er ist für Medizinische Assistenz, Chirurgie ausgelegt.

The Anovo Surgical System is Momentis Surgical's compact robotic platform for minimally invasive surgery. Two miniaturised instrument arms are designed to mimic a surgeon's natural movements, with shoulder, elbow and wrist joints that give multi-planar articulation and 360-degree dexterity inside the abdomen, so the instruments can reach and work around anatomy from a single entry point. The arms are driven by a robotic control unit that weighs only about 13 lb (5.9 kg) and mounts on the operating table, and the surgeon works from an open, ergonomic console that keeps a direct line of sight to the patient and lets them see and talk to the OR team.\nAnovo was the first robotic platform for transvaginal surgery: in February 2021 the FDA granted it De Novo marketing authorization as an endoscopic instrument control system for single-site, natural-orifice, laparoscopic-assisted transvaginal benign procedures in adults - total benign hysterectomy (with or without salpingo-oophorectomy or salpingectomy), salpingectomy, oophorectomy, adnexectomy and ovarian cyst removal. Using the familiar fundus-to-cervix technique without multiple abdominal incisions, it aims to make the vaginal approach recommended by gynaecology societies more widely usable. Momentis designed it as a small, portable, open platform that works alongside existing surgical equipment and costs significantly less than conventional robotic systems, so it suits hospitals and ambulatory surgery centres.
