Agilis Robotics completes cadaver study for bladder-tumour resection
Agilis Robotics completed a cadaver study of its flexible endoluminal robot for en-bloc bladder-tumour resection.
Evidence notes
- Surgeons used the robot to resect tissue in difficult bladder locations including the dome.
- The system used 2.8-to-3.5-millimetre flexible instruments with five degrees of freedom.
- Agilis used the study to prepare for a first-in-human clinical investigation and regulatory submissions.
Company context
Agilis Robotics develops miniature flexible robotic instruments for endoluminal surgery. The platform is designed to navigate natural anatomical pathways and give surgeons dexterous control in procedures where conventional rigid instruments have limited reach.
