Mazor Robotics: Great Replacement for the Surgeon’s Hand

Mazor Robotics has inspired the art of robotic surgery to become the world’s leader in spine surgery innovation. Mazor has created a robotic guidance system along with complementary products to promote safer surgical environments for surgeons, OR personnel and patients.

The flagship product of Mazor is the Renaissance^TM Surgical Guidance System. This product transformed spine surgery and moved the procedure form freehand procedures to a state-of-the-art, highly accurate and robotic-guided surgery procedures that set the standards of patient care to higher and better level.

The Renaissance^TM Surgical Guidance System is based on a technology that went through clinical validation. Using the intuitive interface of Renaissance, a virtual 3-dimensional environment is creating a surgical blueprint that would ensure a robotic-guided surgery.

Renaissance is an OR wonder because it can easily integrate with the workflow in this pressure-packed room. It is very accurate and emits lesser radiation for revisions, deformities and minimally invasive surgeries. A review of Mazor’s robotic technologies showed a record-high 98% accuracy in hundreds of surgical patients. Its learning curve helps surgeons to deal with the obstacles set by challenging cases like minimally invasive surgeries. These types of surgeries are known to be notorious in suboptimal results, higher levels of radiation and loner time to perform the surgery when done freehand.

Mazor’s surgical guidance technology has been used in many successful spine procedures, both in routine and complex cases. Most of these successes were not attempted without the help of Mazor robotics. Mazor’s portfolio of innovative products reshapes how spine surgeries are undertaken. Perhaps, the greatest impact of this innovation is how Renaissance has enabled minimally invasive stabilization procedure, its interoperative 3-dimensional imaging system, and the OR imaging system.

By the end of 2012, a total of 18 Renaissance systems have been actively helping surgeons in the US. These systems have combined for over 1,300 spine procedures in 2012. Corrections or repeat surgeries have been reduced by an average of 10% that year.
