XACT Robotics' Robotic-Driven Percutaneous Procedures
XACT Robotics' Robotic-Driven Percutaneous Procedures
MPO's Sean Fenske speaks with Chen Levin of XACT Robotics about a self-steering robot for ablation, biopsy, and drug delivery.

In this episode of Medtech Matters, a podcast focused on the medical device manufacturing industry and the factors impacting it, we speak with Chen Levin, CEO of XACT Robotics. She offers insights on the capabilities of the XACT ACE Robotic System that enables a doctor to identify a target in the body and the robot to reach the target. The robot can make adjustments should the target move due to the movement of tissue during the procedure. The robot can be used for ablation, biopsy, or drug delivery. Specifically, the following questions are addressed.
