Surgical Theater received FDA approval for their Selman Surgery Rehearsal Platform used in cerebral and spine pre-surgery simulation.
According to a press release, the Selman Surgery Rehearsal Platform (SRP) uses standard scanned images from the patient to generate 3-D patient-specific and accurate models showing the interaction between tissue and surgical instruments. Using flight simulator technology, the software can connect to multiple SRPs, allowing for participants anywhere in the world to simultaneously work together, collaborate on surgery planning and practice the same case with real-time feedback.
“Receiving FDA approval is confirmation of the innovative technology that our company has worked so hard to create over the last several years and the beginning of what we believe will be improved patient outcomes for cerebral and spine surgery patients,” Moty Avisar, president and chief executive officer of Surgical Theater, stated in a company release. “A surgeon’s main priority is to provide the best treatment for their patients. The SRP offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity through pre-procedure rehearsal to reduce risk and maximize the chance for superior outcomes.”
