Luca®: The First Bi-Manual Robotic Platform for Ophthalmic Surgery
Tiny Structures: small and fragile organ, requiring precision at the micron level.
Delicate Balance: fluid balance and pressure control are critical.
High Sensitivity: The eye is super sensitive to light, movement, and pressure.
Vision Dependence: Small errors during surgery can significantly impact vision.
Dual-Arm Technology for Complete Surgical Control
CONTROL
The surgeon controls two independent robotic arms from an ergonomic piloting station, ensuring maximum stability and accuracy
FAMILIARITY
Each robotic arm operates with standard vitreoretinal surgical instruments, providing a seamless transition for surgeons.
PERFORMANCE
With X times less tremor, Luca™ enables micron-level precision, redefining surgical capabilities.
ACUSURGICAL'S SOLUTION
Retinal surgery is the most challenging and demanding ophthalmic surgery requiring ultra-precision.
-
Low level of precision: due to physiological tremors and fatigue
-
Low level of perception: operating through a microscope with limited / blurry vision and no tactile feedback
-
Lack of manipulation dexterity: rigid instrumentation in a restrained workspace offers limited maneuverability
⩽0.5mm diameter instruments are used manually for very delicate procedures
Surgeons perform manual microsurgery requiring 15µm
Traditional microscopes provide passive visualization
Luca®: ROBOTIC PLATFORM
Luca®, is a bi-manual robot designed to reinvent retinal surgery with super high-level of precision, controllability, ergonomics, and additional features which will allow surgeons to take better decisions and get better outcomes.
Dual-Arm Precision with 3D Visualization
Luca® is composed of two independent robotic arms tele-manipulated by the surgeon via an open surgical console. The surgeon visualizes the intervention using a 3D microscope image displayed on a screen, a visualization technology developed by AcuSurgical.
Main Advantages
Luca® redefines retinal surgery with unmatched precision, intelligent automation, and advanced visualization to enhance surgeon capabilities.
Enhanced Precision and Control
Luca® enhances surgical precision and dexterity by eliminating hand tremors and enabling micro-movements with exceptional accuracy. Its motion control and stabilization technologies minimize risks, prevent hazardous movements, and reduce surgeon fatigue for longer, more precise procedures
Workflow Automation
Luca® transforms surgical efficiency by selectively automating time-consuming tasks, allowing surgeons to focus on the most critical aspects of the procedure.
Advanced Visualization
Equipped with cutting-edge 3D visualization technologies, Luca® enhances surgical navigation and instrument control, ensuring superior performance even in challenging conditions.
