Intended for use in computer-assisted surgery, Atracsys Sarl’s optical tracking technology will be leveraged by Smith & Nephew for its multi-asset digital surgery and robotics ecosystem.

The medical technology company expects Atracsys’ fusionTrack 500 optical tracking camera to acts as a key technology for its new robotics platform.

Compared to existing tracking technology, the camera is said to enable higher measurement speed and latency performance, minimised procedure times and better accuracy in finer precision surgical tasks such as bone cuts.

Smith & Nephew focuses on providing medical technology solutions across orthopaedics, advanced wound management and sports medicine.
