FDA clears Think Surgical handheld robotic knee surgery device

The TMINI miniature robotic system for total knee surgeries [Image courtesy of Think Surgical]Think Surgical announced today that it’s received FDA 510(k) clearance for its TMINI miniature robotic system that assists with total knee surgeries.

Here’s how Fremont, California–based Think Surgical described the TMINI system in its news release:

“The TMINI system includes a wireless robotic handpiece that assists surgeons in performing total knee replacement. Following a CT-based three-dimensional surgical plan, the TMINI robotic handpiece automatically compensates for surgeon hand movement to locate bone pins along precisely defined planes. Cutting guides are then connected to the bone pins for accurate bone resection. TMINI is easy to use and replaces many of the instruments currently used for knee replacement surgery.”

For comparison, Stryker’s popular Mako system is more about creating a patient-specific preoperative plan off o…
