Tamar Robotics: Breaking the Wall to Robotic Tumor Removal in Neurosurgery
Tamar Robotics
Founded by Mazor Robotics’ founder and surgical robotics visionary, Prof. Moshe Shoham, Tamar Robotics is developing the first endoscopic robotic system focusing on small cavity surgery. Based on innovative kinematics, the Tamar system enables highly accurate and safe robotic surgery in challenging workspaces where robotics currently cannot be used, offering improved clinical and economic benefits for millions of procedures annually worldwide.
The Tamar System is currently being developed for use in Neurosurgery where it will bring clinical and economic value in procedures such as pituitary, intraventricular, and skull-base tumor removal, as well as removal of gliomas, intracerebral hemorrhage, and other brain mass.
The system addresses about 2.3 million neurosurgical procedures annually.
