How to reduce the workload of doctors and nurses without compromising patient safety? Through the use of surgical robots

You have probably encountered the problem of overcrowded hospitals. One reason for this is demographic change, which is leading to an increase in the average age of patients and nursing staff. Unfortunately, there are also hardly any new specialists coming in and the shortage of skilled workers is increasing. This is because the high workload discourages new employees. This fact alone puts an enormous pressure on hospitals. On top of that, doctors are constantly being asked to perform at their best. Operations are becoming more complex and more frequent. Due to operations lasting several hours in ergonomically poor postures, doctors often suffer from side effects of surgery, such as limb and joint pain. The result is physical limitations for the doctors and a hazard for the surgery patients. A solution is needed, and that solution is: surgical robots.

Outstanding precision and safety in hospitals with surgical robots and our locking systems with torsional stiffness

Today, surgical robots are being used more and more frequently in hospitals. They can take the strain off the doctor, the hospital staff and thus the patients. Surgical robots can compensate for the doctor's trembling hands and support the doctor's ergonomics, as they often have to stand in an ergonomically unfavorable position for hours during an operation. In addition, surgical robots can save a lot of time during certain procedures, such as a biopsy, while providing precision.

Many robotic applications (e.g. robotic assistance systems in surgery or needle and biopsy robots) require a safe and stable stand. Once fixed, the robot must not move a millimeter from the spot during treatment! Here we can offer you high-precision solutions.

Our solutions for you

Based on our many years of experience with surgical applications, we know the market requirements for robotic systems in the medical field very well. When it comes to surgical robots, we specialize in two key elements of surgical robots: Maximum precision and safety.

1. Integral twin torsion for more patient safety:
This caster offers extreme precision in locked state and maximum torsional stiffness with different wheel diameters and different heights.

2. Cable catchers for the protection of cables:
To prevent personnel from accidentally walking over fiber optic cables or important vital cables, we offer casters with cable catchers.

Your advantages with our high-precision solutions:

No play of movement for medical robots on TENTE casters.
Increased safety for patients, staff and equipment.
Flexible adaptation to your application.

Our service for you
We offer you our service to test your casters with our own resources according to EN60601 and the Rough Handling Test. This way you can use our casters under your surgical robots without hesitation.

For this purpose, you are welcome to visit us in person or contact our medical experts. Simply fill out the contact form below in a few steps and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Together we will find the right mobility solution for you.

How does a surgical robot work?

A surgical robot supports invasive procedures by being connected to a panel with control elements. The surgeon uses these controls to operate the basic functions of the device and the electronic wrists. These are more flexible than the human wrist and can therefore reach hard-to-reach areas with even greater precision. Some surgical robots can also perform tasks autonomously, but even with these procedures, the surgeon has the upper hand and guards the control panel. Currently, medical robots are mainly used for biopsies, in urology and gynecology, and for high-precision operations on the heart or eye.

Why are surgical robots considered useful?
A surgical robot can work more precisely and compensates for any slight tremor on the part of the physician. In addition, working at the control panel supports an ergonomic posture for the physician. In addition to reducing the physician's workload, there are also benefits for patients. Precise work reduces surgical trauma, pain and contributes to a faster recovery. This shortens hospital stays and leads to a lower rate of complications associated with hospitalization.

Can surgical robots replace medical staff?
Surgical robots do not perform full surgeries, but they assist them. Humans still have a sense of practical judgment that an AI does not. Therefore, a surgical robot assists the physician, but the actual assessment and evaluation is done by the physician performing the surgery.
