Under Development: The Titan Sport Surgical System

System offers 3D high definition vision and multi-articulating instruments for MIS procedures.

The Titan Sport Surgical System

Currently under development, Titan Medical Inc.’s Sport surgical system comprises a surgeon-controlled single incision robotic platform incorporating a 3D high definition vision system and multi-articulating instruments for performing minimally invasive surgery procedures, and a surgeon workstation that provides the surgeon with an advanced ergonomic interface to the robotic platform for controlling the instruments and provides a 3D view of inside a patient’s body during MIS procedures. This image shows a recent demonstration the company put on of the system. This unit is for engineering verification purposes and has not been approved or cleared for sale and use in patients by any regulatory body, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Sport surgical system has been designed with the goal of providing the multi-articulating instruments and the 3D vision system for insertion into the patient’s body cavity through a single incision of approximately 25 mm. Once inserted, the device is configured to deploy into a working configuration wherein the 3D high definition vision system and multi-articulating instruments are capable of being controlled by a surgeon seated at the workstation.

The multi-articulating, interactive, snake-like instruments are designed to couple with removable and sterile single patient use robotic tools that would provide first use quality in every case and eliminate the reprocessing of the instrument. The use of reposable (re-usable for a specific number of uses) robotic instruments and single patient use tools allows more use cases for each robotic instrument thus reducing the per case cost. The robotic platform is also designed to include a mast, a boom and wheels for optimal configurability for a variety of surgical indications and the ability to be maneuvered around the operating room and surgical centers where applicable.
