Robotic-assisted surgery is one of the hottest spaces in the medical
device industry, while virtual reality is gaining traction as well.
Companies like Vicarious Surgical are combining the two technologies to
create one of Time magazine’s Best Inventions of 2022. From surgical
robotics to breast cancer localization systems, here are three inventions
labeled as the best of the year by Time magazine.Transporting doctors inside a patient using surgical robots designed
its surgical robotics platform to use human-like surgical robots combined
with 3D visualization to transport surgeons inside the patient to perform
minimally invasive procedures. The system creates a 1.5 cm incision —
smaller than a dime — to insert a camera and two robotic instruments for
abdominal procedures.
The surgical robot design has 360 degrees of visualization and
access and robotic arms that move downward, sideways, upward and backward
to give surgeons greater access to the abdomen. Vicarious Surgical’s
robotic system has 28 sensors per arm and replicates a surgeon’s natural
upper body movements from shoulders to elbows to wrists.
