Philips is partnering with Corindus (Natick, MA) to combine the CorPath 200 cath lab robot with Philips’ interventional cardiology offerings. We have reported about this interesting vascular robotics technology for interventional cardiologists and radiologists back in January.
Features of the CorPath 200:
Precise robotic movement and device fixation
• Precise, robotic-assisted control allows placement of guidewire and catheter and stable device deployment
• Fixates and holds devices at all times, so the physician can control contrast injection while manipulating the guidewire
• Open architecture system allows users to select their own preferred guidewire and balloon/stent devices
Enhanced visualization and measurement capability
• Improves visualization of angiography through close proximity of monitors
• Measurement capability within seconds
Optimized ergonomics
• Reduces fatigue enabling better concentration and focus for longer periods of time
• Comfortable seating position minimizes head, neck, and back pain due standing while wearing a lead apron
Radiation protection
• Interventional lead-lined cockpit offers a reduced radiation zone for the physician to perform the procedure
• Improved control of contrast injection and visualization of angiography could potentially reduce the volume of contrast media and radiation dose for the patient
