More on MBOT’s LIBERTY System
The LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System is a fully disposable, remotely operated device designed to enhance precision and safety in endovascular procedures. Its compact form factor allows physicians to control guidewires and catheters with greater stability, while minimizing radiation exposure and reducing the need for contrast media.
Unlike larger capital-intensive robotic platforms, LIBERTY is engineered as a lightweight and portable solution, lowering barriers to adoption across a wide range of hospital and clinical settings. The system’s design emphasizes ease of use and integration into existing workflows, offering the potential to streamline procedures without extensive infrastructure requirements.
The pivotal study of the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System demonstrated 100% success in robotic navigation to the target with zero device-related adverse events. Results also highlighted a 92% relative reduction in radiation exposure for physicians, underscoring the system’s safety benefits. Its remote design is expected to improve ergonomics and reduce physical strain on healthcare providers, while offering the potential to enhance procedural efficiency, lower costs, and improve overall quality of care. Microbot plans to continue gathering clinical data on LIBERTY as part of its commercial launch strategy.
