High Cost of Medical Robots and Lack of Skilled Personnel to Hamper Global Market
Improvements in 3D Visualization Technology Boosts Uptake of Robotic Systems
Successful outcomes associated with robotic-assisted surgeries are increasingly replacing conventional surgical procedures. Manufacturers in the surgical robots market are making improvements in 3D visualization to enhance quality of life in patients. Ongoing innovations cater to solutions that integrate the medical device technology with robotic systems to reduce trauma and offer rapid post-surgery healing.
Robotic-assisted surgeries are being increasingly adopted in the U.S. healthcare industry landscape, since the FDA has approved surgical robots for general laparoscopic surgeries. As minimally invasive surgeries are growing popular in globally, manufacturers in the surgical robots market are increasing research to augment high-resolution imaging and superior operative ergonomics in robotic systems.
Since several hospitals, especially in developing economies are restricted with limited budget spending, manufacturers are introducing low-cost surgical robots that eliminate the need for constant maintenance servicing.
Companies Overcome Limitations of Haptic Feedback Using Cutting-edge Sensor Technology
Minimally invasive surgery is a modern technique that helps in executing complex surgical procedures with utmost precision. However, ambiguity associated with the haptic feedback of surgical robots acts as a barrier for its adoption by robot-assisted surgeons.
The surgical robots market is highly consolidated with only two major players accounting to ~90% of the total market share. This is another major challenge faced by emerging players who lack the budget, resources, and expertise to overcome the limitations of the haptic feedback associated with surgical robots.
In order to overcome these issues, companies in the surgical robots market are join forces with haptic sensor manufacturers to gain insights on accurate tissue and organ models. For instance, sensing and test-measurement solutions provider Futek manufactures haptic sensors to support surgical robotic platforms. Thus, emerging players are leveraging this opportunity to collaborate with haptic sensor manufacturers to gain competitive edge over leading players. Manufacturers are increasingly investing in R&D to address design challenges associated with haptic autoclavable sensors by collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
FDA-approved Surgical Robots Gain Prominence in Gynecological Surgeries
The surgical robots market is witnessing change with the introduction of AI in operating rooms.
