No doubt, manufacturers of large surgical robotic systems have dominated the first era of robotic surgery. In orthopedics such systems have been acquired by the dominant implant companies and have been used to obtain long term implant performance.
But the next era of surgical robotics—both in hard tissue and soft tissue robotics—could open a path for companies creating smaller surgical robotic tools that require less space than predecessor systems.
One such example of a next-generation—or this generation— robotic surgical tool is the TMINI™ Miniature Robotic System, developed by THINK Surgical, in collaboration with Sagentia Innovation. The TMINI system, which received FDA clearance in 2023, addresses key barriers that had limited adoption of robotics in orthopedics.
