Under the terms of the MOU, Rochester General Hospital will assist Titan Medical in the testing and evaluation of the new robotic surgeon console and its component sub-systems, including the vision system, the telecommunication system, hand controllers, simulated instrumentation and ergonomic interface.
"We are pleased to be helping guide the development of Titan's next generation Robotic Surgical System," said John Valvo MD, head of the Robotic Program at Rochester General Health System. "Rochester General Hospital has been a leader in bringing robotic surgery to our community and ranks among the top 4% of U.S. hospitals in completed robotic surgery procedures."
