Mazor Robotics is the developer of Renaissance, a surgical guidance system and its complementary products.
LifeHealthcare, its distribution and marketing partner in Australia, has ordered its first Renaissance system.
The system will be used for training, marketing, and sales purposes, as the distributor’s sales force penetrates the Australian market.
Mazor recently announced on March 3, 2013 that its Renaissance technology received regulatory approval in Australia.
The Australian and New Zealand spine market represents a growing market as surgeons and patients seek innovative technology to enhance surgical capabilities and enrich patient care.
“We are very pleased to work with LifeHealthcare to bring Renaissance to Australia,” said Ori Hadomi, CEO of Mazor.
“The system sold marks the first Renaissance to be installed in the region and will be used to demonstrate the value it can bring, helping to increase surgeon accuracy and improve patient outcomes.
"We look forward to introducing more systems to the Australian spinal surgery community as surgeons become accustomed with the technology and its benefits.”
Renaissance, Mazor Robotics’ next generation surgical guidance system for spine procedures, is transforming spine surgery from freehand operations to highly-accurate, state-of-the-art procedures, with less radiation – even for minimally invasive surgery, scoliosis, and other complex spinal deformity cases.
It is the only robotic technology for spine surgery available in the marketplace. Mazor Robotics systems have been successfully used in the placement of over 20,000 implants in the US and Europe.
