The FDA approved Surgical Theater’s Selman Surgery Rehearsal Platform, one of the only patented and approved platforms for cerebral and spine pre-surgery rehearsal, according to Today’s Medical Developments.
The SRP generates 3-D models based on standard scanned images from patients that show the interaction between tissue and surgical instruments. The pre-surgical analysis offers a rehearsal for surgeons and is ultimately designed to reduce risk and maximize outcomes, according to the report.
The device was released late last year after patent approval. Currently, the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland uses the technology for clinical studies.
