FDA Approves Robotic Hand Piece

November 13, 2007

Cardiogenesis, a developer of surgical products for transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), received FDA marketing approval for its PEARL 5.0 Robotic Delivery System.

The PEARL 5.0 is the only TMR delivery system compatible with robotic surgical systems, Cardiogenesis said.

The device allows this form of treatment to be performed endoscopically with only a few port incisions.
