…does not require the dedicated operating room or specialized infrastructure typically required for “mainframe” robotic systems, claimed Virtual Incision. The company added that it expects its robot to be significantly less expensive than existing alternatives for laparoscopic surgery because of its small size. Weighing only two pounds, the miniature platform has full robotic capabilities, and it can easily be moved from room to room, Virtual Incision said. MIRA is an investigational device that is limited to investigational use in the U.S. MIRA is designed to be more portable and affordable than other surgical robots.
