Types of robots
used in healthcare Surgical Robots
Major manufacturers are increasing their R&D efforts
within robotic surgical systems.
The overall market is currently dominated by Intuitive Surgical, but the
landscape is rapidly changing. The entrance of major manufacturers such as
Johnson & Johnson and Medtronicare is bolstering the medtech surgical robotics market.
There are specific product lines from each company
focusing on individual therapeutic areas for minimally invasive robotic surgery. For example, the da
Vinci System is a general surgical robot
focusing on a myriad of surgical procedures in urological, bariatric, and
gynaecological surgical procedures. Additionally, the MAKO System from Stryker
specialises in orthopaedic surgery, specifically partial and complete knee
replacements.
