Titan finished the development of SPORT
“I extend congratulations to Dr. Perry Genova, our Senior Vice President
of Research and Development, and our engineering team for achieving this
significant development milestone on an aggressive schedule during the
fourth quarter of 2018,” said David McNally, president and chief
executive officer of Titan Medical. “We are proud of their
accomplishments and are thrilled with our substantial progress in 2018,
and note that timely completion of this build is a critical step in
preparation to file for regulatory clearances in the U.S. and the
European Union. We are also grateful to the visionary surgeons who
performed 45 preclinical studies with our earlier SPORT system
prototype, including 14 different procedures within four surgical
disciplines, providing key input to our design team. As a result, our
single-port robotic system now incorporates multiple important and
patent-pending enhancements specifically intended to improve surgical
performance and ease of use, which will better position us in the
rapidly-expanding surgical robotics market.”
Mr. McNally added, “We welcome viewers to our website where we have
posted video of the SPORT system enhancements, which include a
completely redesigned unique dual-camera system with a 3D
high-definition steerable endoscopic camera for use during surgery, as
well as a 2D high-definition wide-angle camera integrated into the
camera insertion tube for visualization of instrument insertions, which
also serves as a backup camera for safety. The engineering team has also
designed a more compact and significantly lighter patient cart, with a
reduced footprint designed to optimize portability, minimize set-up time
and facilitate unencumbered assistance of surgical staff at the patient
bedside. Further, we have improved the surgeon interface at the
workstation with a more comfortable handle design, a new 4K monitor and
upgraded haptic feedback with image overlays to assist the surgeon with
the positioning of the instruments for optimal performance. We are
excited to move into 2019 with this next-generation single-port robotic
surgical system, with a focus on meeting our regulatory milestones.”
