Synaptive Medical Unveils Next Generation of Surgical Robotics

Synaptive Medical Inc., a medical device and technology company, today released Modus V. This digital microscope with a surgical robotic arm is derived from Canadarm technology used on the International Space Station. Designed with feedback from Synaptive’s clinical partners, Modus V is the new cornerstone of its integrated BrightMatter platform.

For surgeons, Modus V’s instrument tracking with auto-focus, combined with a flexible arm, allows for increased surgical efficiency through hands-free control, better ergonomics during procedures, and greater versatility in the operating room. These innovations feed developments in precision medicine by creating more opportunity to capture, analyze and draw trends from patient data and build better decision-making tools for physicians, researchers and hospital administrators.

“This product release marks a major milestone in our evolution as a company,” says Peter Wehrly, Synaptive’s CEO. “Modus V is an integral part of our overall BrightMatter surgical solution. Conceptualized for the digital era as a fully integrated set of devices, our solution collects and delivers data—be it imaging, tractography or other patient information—when and where it’s most needed to drive surgical decision making. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to give surgeons the most advanced tools with which to treat their patients.”

Modus V is part of the BrightMatter product suite, which transforms surgical planning, patient data collection and intraoperative vision from disjointed analog methods to a fully integrated platform with navigation, robotic automation, digital microscopy and data analytics.

As the successor to BrightMatter Drive, Synaptive’s first generation robotic digital microscope, Modus V’s improved design was created to meet the complex needs of cutting-edge surgery, including:

  • An optics platform fully integrated with the robotic arm, providing visualization of anatomy, and allowing for better decision making when it matters most
  • Hands-free tracking of surgical instruments with auto-focus and programmable motions gives surgeons more control without disrupting workflow
  • Increased arm flexibility covers a larger volume of space, permitting more versatile positioning around the patient and ergonomic alignments of optics for the surgeon
  • Smaller unit footprint allows for greater maneuverability in the OR and enables faster deployment

“Collaboration is hardwired into Synaptive’s culture. Modus V’s improvements are grounded in the collaboration and extensive feedback from neurosurgeons in our customer community on both Modus V prototypes and BrightMatter Drive,” says Cameron Piron, Synaptive’s president and chief strategy officer. “We’re grateful for their support, and look forward to deeper commentary from the surgical community as Modus V enters the market.”
