About
NovoSurge is developing a robotic, structured incision system for tailor-made, predefined, and precise hard-tissue incisions, a system that will spare patients unnecessary suffering, reduce complications, and lower M&M rates. Applying ultrasonic incising technology and an ultrasound imaging system, the Structured Sternum Incision (SSI) platform is essentially a robotic-assisted surgery solution for performing a structured, tailor-made, novel, non-linear sternotomy of predetermined pattern anddepth. The SSI platform was engineered to respond tothe shortcomings of existing midline sternotomy techniques. The incision made by the ultrasonic incision technology is of a sinusoidal shape and is adjustable in form and length, resulting in a non-linear edge pattern that provides for a steadier and more accurate mutual positioning of the two sternal halves. The patterned structure of the incision further prevents longitudinal slide and friction of the sternum edges.
