The system will be available to hospitals and ASCs in early 2021. The second-generation robot made several hardware and software improvements, including audio feedback to improve positional guidance during surgery and LED lights to denote what stage a procedure is in.
In addition to the new system, Think Surgical will upgrade TSolution One systems that are currently in use.
Houston-based INOV8 Orthopedics tested and evaluated the second-generation system. INOV8 was the first ASC in the U.S. to install the TSolution One.
Stefan Kreuzer, MD, founder of INOV8 Orthopedics, said: “The enhanced system provides submillimeter dimensional accuracy cuts optimizing the marriage of the implant to the bone. I am looking forward to utilizing the new system to further improve patient care.”
