Siemens Healthineers acquired Corindus for $1.1 billion in 2019. Corindus develops the CorPath robot-assisted device for coronary and peripheral vascular procedures.

Corindus said new motion automations have received FDA clearance for use in coronary and peripheral robotic-assisted procedures.

Doctor have now used the CorPath GRX system in a successful brain surgery and to conduct multiple remote surgeries, advancing the state of robot-assisted procedures.

A cardiac surgeon in India and one in the U.S. discuss promising developments and remaining challenges around robot-assisted telesurgery.

One of the most promising uses of 5G networking technology is in robotic remote surgery. China has led the way with several demonstrations, adding to U.S. concerns about international competitiveness.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, whose CorPath GRX has FDA approval for percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures, will be acquired by Siemens Healthineers.

Corindus Vascular Robotics this week said it applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for premarket clearance to use its CorPath GRX robotic surgical platform in neurovascular interventions. The Waltham, Mass.-based company has already received FDA clearance for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), which it won in 2016, and for peripheral vascular interventions (PVI), which it won last…

Corindus Vasular Robotics opened its first international CorPath GRX Robotic Center in Tokyo to educate cardiologists on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary interventions, the company announced today. “The opening of the first international robotic center represents an important milestone in the process of bringing precision vascular robotics to patients and physicians in Japan and around the world,”…

Corindus Vascular Robotics announced the first patient enrollment in a post-market study of its second-generation CorPath GRX System, a robot-assisted system for percutaneous coronary interventions such as stenting. “Enrollment of the first patient in the Precision GRX registry is a major milestone for the company and we look forward to the participation of leading centers…
