TransEnterix is First to Offer Robotic 3 mm Microlaparoscopic Surgery for Pediatric Patients
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 12, 2020--
TransEnterix, Inc. (NYSE American:TRXC), a medical device company that is digitizing the interface between the surgeon and the patient to improve minimally invasive surgery, today announced that the Company received CE Mark approval for an expanded indication to treat pediatric patients above 10kg (approximately 22 lbs) with the Senhance(R) System.
"Given the size of the patients, pediatric surgery seeks to use the smallest instruments and scopes possible to minimize invasiveness, yet it is critical to maintain a high degree of precision," said Anthony Fernando, president and chief executive officer of TransEnterix. "The Senhance System is designed to maximize control of instruments as small as 3 mm and be compatible with small scopes while also retaining the sense of touch through haptic feedback. This makes our technology uniquely positioned to meet the requirements of pediatric surgeons, and we look forward to working closely with leading European hospitals to serve the needs of their pediatric patients."
"The ability to use 3 mm microlaparoscopic instruments on a robotic platform is very exciting and is a large step forward in treating pediatric patients," said Prof. Dr. Wim van Gemert, chairman of the department of pediatric surgery, Maastricht University Medical Center+ in the Netherlands. "Especially in younger patients, smaller ports and instruments are critically important in achieving the best outcomes given the body size constraints in these patients."
The Senhance(R) Surgical System is the first and only digital laparoscopic platform designed to maintain laparoscopic MIS standards while providing digital benefits such as haptic feedback, robotic precision, eye-sensing camera control, comfortable ergonomics, advanced instrumentation including, 3 mm microlaparoscopic instruments, eye-sensing camera control and reusable standard instruments to help maintaining per-procedure costs similar to traditional laparoscopy.
Senhance European Indication for Use
The Senhance(R) Surgical System has received a CE Mark according to the Medical Device Directive and is intended to be used for laparoscopic surgery in the abdomen, pelvis and limited uses in the thoracic cavity excluding the heart and greater vessels. The system is indicated for adult and pediatric use in CE marked territories.
