Micro Medical Robot Magnet Development
Business background
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is observed in 25% of patients
treated with angiocardiography a month after their blood vessels got clogged
Low Procedural Success Rate
While overall success rates reach 60–70%, complex J-CTO≥3 lesions show only 10–20% clearance within 30 minutes.
High Risk of Complications
Relying on 2D images and operator intuition increases vessel damage and surgical complications.
Excessive Radiation and Contrast Use
Extended procedure times lead to high-dose radiation exposure and heavy contrast medium usage, reducing cost-efficiency and safety.
Business vision
Magnetic Navigation Micro-Robot System
Unclogging blood vessels with a micro-robot utilizing a magnetic field controlling system while operating the guide wire
Business goals
Overcoming the limitations and issues of the existing catheter insertion method
by conducting CTO treatment precisely utilizing a micro-robot embedded with catheter and controlled by magnetic field
High Success Rate
Achieving a higher procedural success rate of up to 80% by utilizing advanced micro-drilling technology integrated with a micro medical robot.
Minimized Complications
Reducing complications like perforation and hemorrhage using ultrasonic 3D X-ray navigation systems alongside advanced catheter location feedback algorithms.
Reduced Radiation Exposure
Minimizing the radiation exposure of the operator during medical procedures through precise, real-time location and motion control of micro-robots.
Reduced Contrast Medium Usage
Reducing the current average usage of contrast medium from 300 ml by over 50% to ensure safer patient recovery.
