Mazor Robotics will soon launch the new Renaissance Guidance System brain module.
The system has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for both spine and brain surgery. The brain module includes a small, frameless platform with three points of fixation to provide accurate access to the areas of the brain where intervention is needed.
Bradley Wallace, MD, of Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Fla., performed the first bilateral procedure with the system in December 2013.
