Problem
Neurosurgical procedures often require accessing hard-to-reach areas within the brain, demanding a high degree of precision to avoid damaging healthy tissue. Traditional surgical methods may lack the accuracy needed for complex brain surgeries, potentially leading to longer recovery times and increased risk for patients.
Solution
Tamar Robotics develops an endoscopic robotic system designed to enhance precision and safety in neurosurgery. The system utilizes highly flexible robotic arms that access targets within the brain through a burr hole, minimizing damage to healthy brain tissue. Controlled from a surgical console, the robotic arms hold standard surgical tools, allowing neurosurgeons to perform procedures with robotic precision. The system also features multiple steerable cameras and integrated retractors to provide superior visualization and maximize working space within the dynamically shifting brain cavity.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes neurosurgeons and hospitals seeking to improve the precision, safety, and efficiency of neurosurgical procedures.
