Medtronic to launch robotic surgery programme in 2018
Biomedical engineering firm Medtronic has revealed plans for its “internally developed robotic surgery” program, which is set to hit the market in 2018. Medtronic wants to deploy the robot in every procedure where machines are currently used, targeting thoracic, bariatric and colorectal surgeries. The program is part of the Minimally Invasive Therapies Group and makes up the department’s largest R&D financial outlay. Medtronic’s Bryan Hanson, EVP said the scheme would start to generate revenue by 2019. The robotic surgery market is currently dominated by Intuitive Surgical's Da Vinci system, which has been on the market since the turn of the century.
