RONNA G6

DESCRIPTION

RONNA G6 is a Medical-Robots from RONNA Medical. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Navigation, Surgery. Key figures: 7 degrees of freedom, released 2024.

The RONNA G6 is RONNA Medical's robotic system for stereotactic neurosurgery, built to make procedures such as frameless brain biopsies more accurate, efficient and safe. It consists of a robotic unit, a planning station and a stabilisation device, with the RONNA Tool Guide and inserts, the RONNA Vision localisation camera and RONNA markers. The robotic unit carries a medical-grade arm with seven degrees of freedom on a compact drive-by-wire platform that moves smoothly to the surgical site, with continuous activation controls and force-sensitive technology for safety. Surgeons plan trajectories on the planning station, which has a DICOM viewer and automated patient localisation for registering preoperative images to the patient, while RONNA Vision uses near-infrared imaging for non-contact localisation and real-time feedback. The tool guide holds cylindrical instruments such as biopsy needles, catheters and drill bits, with sterilisable inserts of different diameters that store their calibration data, and the stabilisation device keeps the arm steady during surgery. Studies with the earlier RONNA G4 reported diagnostic yields of 95.6 and 96.9 percent in series of 23 and 32 robot-assisted brain biopsies. RONNA Medical describes the G6 as a 2024 commercial prototype and labels its images pre-certification.
