Mico is the world’s most successful robotic arm that has helped millions of knee surgeries so far and surprisingly, it doesn’t make mistakes like humans do.
Over 600 hospitals around the world have been successfully using Maco, which Stryker has built over years of hard work. Its visualization system shows the 3D shape of the knee and facilitates the surgery process by carefully inspecting the operation site.
Due to innovation and sensitivity, this robot does not make mistakes and has performed more than three lakh operations so far. A robotic arm can hold all kinds of surgical tools. In addition to the knee, Miku can also perform complex operations on the hip bone. Also, it helps in partial surgery even if the knee (or its ball bone) needs to be replaced.
Although Mico’s technology was introduced ten years ago, it has been continuously improved and has now moved from science fiction to reality and has provided therapeutic relief to millions of patients. The robot’s vision system provides the surgeon with detailed video and images of the knee, helping the surgeon to perform the operation in the correct location.
In case of any malfunction, the robotic arm stops immediately as a wrong operation can even permanently disable the patient. If the surgeon orders it to work on one part, it remains confined to that place and otherwise ceases to work.
Due to its many advantages, this robot has become a top priority for orthopedic surgeons worldwide, but it requires special training to take advantage of it, which the company provides.
