Unlike fully remote-handling robotics, Dex Surgical offers robot-assisted solution instead. Which means, you’ll be using the same laparoscopic techniques but achieve better outcomes instead.
The instrument will remain in contact with patients throughout the surgery while you perform in the sterile field close to the patient. This will preserve haptic feedback, which gives you superior control and further improves your precision.
While traditional laparoscopy instruments allow up to 4 degrees of freedom, Dex allows up to 7 degrees of freedom instead. That’s exactly like how our arm moves. Furthermore, with a short tip and infinite rotation, you’ll have full freedom in mobility. It’s truly like extending your arms into the patient’s body.
