Orthopaedic computer scoops investment fund

摘要

The London Technology Fund has completed a further investment in the Imperial College spin-out Ac-robot, a medical devices company specialising in computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery.Acrobots products help surgeons plan operations and accurately place orthopaedic implants, working from the computer tomography scans of each patient.This gives a full 3D view of each patients anatomy and the appropriate positioning of the implants, which can be visualised prior to surgery. The plan is then fed into Acrobots Navigator or Sculptor surgical instruments, which help surgeons to ensure die implant is accurately placed.
