AB MEDICA MAZOR

The Mazor Renaissance ™ robot is designed for accurate, punctual spine surgery, which is essential when working at the spine. The system has a software, a surgical guide system, and finally a work station. The software component allows the surgeon a preventive study of images acquired through computerized tomography of the patient; always in this pre-operative phase, the physician is able to simulate implantation and millimeter positioning of the screws in the vertebrae, avoiding possible mishaps even when the anatomical references are lost. The steps planned in the phases preceding the surgical procedure can be found and are visible on the workstation which, in turn, communicates with the guidance system. The amount fixed by planning is ultimately reproduced faithfully by the robot that accompanies the surgical gesture along the trajectories indicated by the software.

Making use of this robotic system involves clinical benefits, both for open and mininvasive and percutaneous procedures. Operating times are shortened and this reduces the exposure time of both the patient and the medical and nursing personnel, radiation
