EndoQuest Robotics, a medical device company, has partnered with OMNIVISION, a developer of semiconductor solutions, to create a revolutionary flexible endoluminal robotic system. This system is designed to improve patient outcomes and set a new standard of care in minimally invasive surgery. The key component of this system is the integration of OMNIVISION’s OCHFA CameraCubeChip into EndoQuest’s Flexible Robotic System.
The novel robotic system being developed by EndoQuest aims to address unmet needs in gastrointestinal (GI) and other endoluminal surgeries. It offers precision, flexibility, and improved patient outcomes. The system utilizes proprietary technology to navigate and perform procedures within the body’s natural orifices, such as transoral and transanal, enabling the least invasive interventions. This approach minimizes external incisions and related complications compared to conventional open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery.
OMNIVISION’s OCHFA CameraCubeChip is a high-performance visualization solution built with advanced pixel technology. It features a small pixel size, high resolution, and low power consumption, providing crisp, clear, life-like images. The chip is compact, with a wide focus range and field-of-view, making it ideal for GI and other endoluminal procedures. It is a medical-grade component that undergoes comprehensive certification, qualification, and testing.
Kurt Azarbarzin, CEO of EndoQuest Robotics, emphasized the importance of advanced imaging in enhancing physician capabilities, especially inside the GI tract. Tehzeeb Gunja, Director of Medical Marketing at OMNIVISION, highlighted the technical specifications of the OCHFA CameraCubeChip and its suitability for GI and endoluminal procedures.
The collaboration between EndoQuest Robotics and OMNIVISION represents a significant advancement in the field of minimally invasive surgery, promising to take patient care and surgical visualization to the next level.
