By GlobalDataThe robot’s dual touchscreens facilitate the simultaneous monitoring of ultrasound and cystoscopy images, providing a comprehensive visual aid during surgery.
Hydros’ robotic resection capability utilises a heat-free water jet, guided by the surgeon-defined treatment plan, to precisely remove obstructive tissue.
The technology ensures the protection of critical anatomy, enabling a consistent procedure across various prostate sizes and shapes.
Furthermore, the Hydros Robotic System streamlines the workflow of Aquablation therapy. Its integrated tower and single-footprint design optimise operating room setup and turnover.
Procept BioRobotics chief commercial officer Sham Shiblaq said: “The Hydros Robotic System is a testament to our commitment to innovation. By integrating AI and advanced imaging into the robotic platform, we are providing surgeons with the tools they need to deliver precise, efficient, and high-quality care.
“Hydros will move to full market release within the current quarter and be available immediately to hospitals across the United States.”
