Clinical evaluation of an Instrument Integrated OCT-based Distance Sensor for Robotic Vitreoretinal Surgery

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, November 25, 2021 – The efficacy of an instrument-integrated OCT (iiOCT)-based distance sensor during robotic vitreoretinal surgery using the Preceyes Surgical System was assessed in this study. This iiOCT-based sensor was tested successfully and promises reliable use during robot-assisted surgery. An iiOCT-based sensor is a promising step Read more…

First-In-Human Robot-Assisted Subretinal Drug Delivery Under Local Anaesthesia

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, November 14, 2021 – This study reports the results of a first-in-human study using a robotic device to assist subretinal drug delivery in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for macular haemorrhage. After standard vitrectomy, intraoperative OCT-guided subretinal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) was performed either by robot-assisted Read more…

Advantages of robotic assistance over a manual approach in simulated subretinal injections and its relevance for gene therapy

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, May 17, 2021 – Subretinal injection is a method for gene delivery to treat genetic diseases of the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium. A reflux-free subretinal injection is important to allow effective, safe, and cost-effective gene therapy to the retina. We report on a comparison between manual Read more…

Preceyes obtains ISO 13485 certification

Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 5, 2020 – Preceyes B.V. has received the ISO-EN 13485:2016 certification for its quality management system, effectively obtaining approval for the continued commercialization and production of its CE-marked PRECEYES Surgical System R1.1 under the changing medical regulations.

Robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery improves surgical accuracy compared with manual surgery: a randomized trial in a simulated setting

Eindhoven, The Netherlands, December 13, 2019 – Researchers from the Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet have concluded that robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery improves precision and limits tissue damage compared with that of manual surgery. This comes initially at the cost of time, which is improved within 5 to 10 trials. In particular Read more…
