Medical Microinstruments, a robotics company dedicated to expanding treatment options and improving outcomes for patients with complex conditions, has announced that it received US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its NanoWrist Scissors and Forceps indicated for soft tissue dissection.
This clearance enables delicate tissue manipulation and dissection in robotic microsurgery, expanding the role of the Symani Surgical System beyond anastomosis to include additional critical steps in complex surgery.
The first US clinical use of the cleared instruments was recently completed at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), home to an established microsurgical robotics program. The lymphovenous bypass (LVB) procedure, leveraging the full capabilities of Symani, represents the world’s first fully robotic-assisted microsurgical operation from initial incision to skin closure.
