Levita Magnetics to use RTI Connext for real-time data transfer with MARS surgical robot [Video]

Real-Time Innovations today announced that Levita Magnetics has chosen RTI Connext to provide real-time connectivity for MARS, a surgical robotics platform that uses magnets.

Levita said it designed the magnetic-assisted robotic surgery, or MARS, system to improve patient outcomes and clinical efficiency in high-volume abdominal surgeries. Command and control in minimally invasive therapies must receive data communications correctly, said the Mountain View, Calif.-based company. Levita said it needed reliable, robust, and scalable software to transfer data in real time, ensuring patient and system safety.

“RTI Connext enables advanced controls and visualization in the surgical field, enriching the surgeon’s experience as well as patient care,” stated Chauncey Graetzel, vice president of research and development at Levita Magnetics. “We will continue to push boundaries through leading-edge innovation in surgical robotics while maintaining unwavering commitment to safety and security standards.”
