Cannulated bars at the service of new surgical technologies

Robotic surgery has seen significant growth in recent years, offering substantial benefits for both surgeons and patients. Among these advantages:

• Enhanced vision and increased precision: Thanks to high-definition 3D vision and ultra-precise instruments, surgeons benefit from optimal control over surgical movements.
• Minimally invasive procedures, even in complex areas: Robotic assistance allows access to anatomically challenging regions, reducing incision size and promoting faster patient recovery.
• Precision dissection and advanced ergonomics: Robotic instruments offer an excellent range of motion, often with more degrees of freedom than human hand. This flexibility ensures fine tissue manipulation and improves surgical safety.

Adopted in numerous applications – urology, oncology, spinal surgery, ENT, and even orthopedics – robotics has become a standard in modern operating rooms. However, these advancements require adapted instrumentation, particularly longer and often cannulated instruments.

The importance of Cannulated bars in the rise of robotic surgery

The evolution of minimally invasive and robotic surgery requires instruments that combine lightness, rigidity, and precision. Cannulated bars play a critical role in this transformation:

• They help reduce instrument weight, minimizing robotic arm fatigue, and improving ergonomic for the surgeon.
• They facilitate the passage of fluids, guidewires, or miniaturized optics inside the instruments, which is necessary for certain complex procedures
• They provide excellent mechanical resistance while ensuring high machining precision.
