MUSA-3, Microsure’s first commercial product, is designed for open microsurgery and allows surgeons to use their own instruments. The robot builds upon its previous iteration, MUSA-2, to offer enhanced dexterity and tremor reduction with micro-instruments. Surgeons operate the robot using joysticks on a console with a separate digital or hybrid digital microscope.
The company has already completed several clinical studies with the MUSA-2 prototype at the Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands and Uppsala Academic Hospital in Sweden. Microsure says the studies, which include around 50 patients across various surgical indications, have produced positive results.
