Asensus Surgical, Inc. (NYSE:ASXC), a medical device company that is digitizing the interface between the surgeon and the patient to pioneer a new era of Performance-Guided Surgery™, today announced that a Senhance® Surgical System was sold to the Company’s distribution partner, and will be placed in a hospital in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“We are excited to be partnering with yet another institution to initiate a Senhance program to deliver better patient outcomes,” said Anthony Fernando, Asensus Surgical President and CEO. “With the combination of unique instrumentation, including 3mm and articulation, advanced safety features such as haptic feedback, and the industry’s only intelligent Artificial Intelligence platform, Senhance provides the opportunity to revolutionize a surgical team’s capabilities when performing laparoscopic procedures.’’
Leveraging the Performance-Guided Surgery™ framework, the Senhance Surgical System advances clinical intelligence by providing surgeons with augmented intelligence and digital tools to perform consistently superior surgery.
Asensus Surgical’s technology platform, Senhance Surgical System, is the first of its kind digital laparoscopic platform that leverages augmented intelligence to provide unmatched performance and patient outcomes through machine learning. Senhance goes beyond the typical surgical robotic systems, providing surgical assurance through haptic feedback, eye-tracking camera control, and 3D visualization, and is the first platform to offer 3mm instruments (the smallest instrument available in the world on a robotic surgical platform). The Senhance Surgical System is powered by the Intelligent Surgical Unit™ (ISU™). The ISU enables machine vision-driven control of the camera for a surgeon by responding to commands and recognizing certain objects and locations in the surgical field, and allows a surgeon to change the visualized field of view using the movement of their instruments.
