General laparoscopy Sample Clauses

General laparoscopy. Apart from the da Vinci system (see § 2.2), other laparoscopic robots are Zeus, FreeHand and Telelap ALF-X. Technically, Zeus should not be considered as a robot: it is a remote computer-assisted telemanipulator with interactive robotic arms, but it does not follow programmable motions. With Zeus an operation has been accomplished for the first time, in which the surgeon and the patient were separated by a distance of several thousand kilometres. The FreeHand robot (Freehand 2010 Ltd., previously Freehand Surgical, previously Prosurgics, the previous generation was called EndoAssist, FDA clearance and CE ▇▇▇▇ 2009) is a next-generation endoscope holder, equipped with an arm more compact, easier to setup, and cheaper than its predecessor. Telelap ALF-X (CE ▇▇▇▇ 2011) is a four-armed surgical robot projected by sofar s.p.a. to compete with the da Vinci: compared with that robot, Telelap ALF-X moves the base of the manipulators away from the bed (about 80 cm) and has a realistic tactile-sensing capability due to a patented approach to measure tip/tissue forces from outside the patient, with a sensitivity of 35 grams.
