Mazor Robotics Renaissance System Study Data Positive

MDT MASI MLAB

Mazor Robotics Ltd. , an Israel-based developer of robotic technology and products, recently presented data from two clinical studies at a leading Spine Conference. The data demonstrated major clinical benefits of its surgical guidance technological platform.

 

The studies confirmed an improvement in patient outcomes when surgeons utilized Mazor Robotic’s Renaissance-guidance system. The system guides the surgeon’s instruments to ensure highest levels of accuracy during minimally-invasive surgery (MIS).

The study confirms that usage of robotic guidance in MIS approach can significantly reduce the surgical complications and revision rates compared to both freehand MIS as well as open cases. Notably, these studies corroborate the clinical and economic value proposition of Renaissance system by delivering positive results which meet the surgeon’s expectation.

As per a report by StarTribune, more than 16,000 successful spinal surgeries have been performed worldwide with the Renaissance system, which is a major positive for Mazor Robotics. We believe that the company will continue to win contracts for the same that will propel significant top-line growth.
