RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Dec. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asensus Surgical, Inc. (NYSE American: ASXC), a medical device company that is digitizing the interface between the surgeon and the patient to pioneer a new era of Performance-Guided Surgery™, today announced that Kashiwa Kosei General Hospital in Kashiwa, Japan has entered into an agreement to lease and utilize a Senhance® Surgical System.
“We are pleased to be partnering with another impressive institution as we continue to see high adoption rates in one of the fastest growing regions for Asensus,” said Anthony Fernando, Asensus Surgical President and CEO. “The recently approved thoracic indication will be a great addition to the Kashiwa Kosei General Hospital’s surgery department, and we look forward to helping them provide safe and effective procedures for their patients.”
Asensus Surgical's technology platform, Senhance Surgical System, is the first of its kind digital laparoscopic platform that leverages augmented intelligence to provide unmatched performance and patient outcomes through machine learning. Senhance goes beyond the typical surgical robotic systems, providing surgical assurance through haptic feedback, eye-tracking camera control, and 3D visualization, and is the first platform to offer 3mm instruments (the smallest instrument available in the world on a robotic surgical platform). The Senhance Surgical System has the potential to enable machine vision-driven control of the camera for a surgeon by responding to commands and recognizing certain objects and locations in the surgical field, and allows a surgeon to change the visualized field of view using the movement of their instruments.
“We are excited to bring the Senhance Surgical System into our existing surgical robotics department,” said Dr.Takashi Suwa, director and gastrointestinal surgeon at Kashiwa Kosei General Hospital. “We aim to provide the latest advancements in medical care to fulfill our responsibilities as a regional hospital.”
