The Indiana Regional Medical Center has announced the acquisition of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, advancing IRMC’s use of minimally invasive surgery. The robotic surgical system is used for general surgery, gynecology, and urology, and President and CEO Steve Wolfe says it’s acquisition is what separates (IRMC) from other hospitals in the region.”
When the da Vinci Xi System is in use, the surgeon is 100% in control. The robotic-assisted technology translates hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. The Xi System’s immersive 3D-HD vision system provides surgeons a highly magnified view, virtually extending their eyes and hands into the patient.
Dr. Andrew Billon, a general surgeon, says IRMC is “the only hospital from Greensburg to Harrisburg to offer the da Vinci Xi technology with Integrated Table Motion.”
The da Vinci Xi System is an expandable technology platform that is designed to accommodate and seamlessly integrate a range of current technologies, as well as future innovations, in areas such as imaging, advanced instruments and anatomical access.
Key Features Include:
· New overhead instrument arm architecture designed to facilitate anatomical access from virtually any position.
· A new endoscope digital architecture that creates a simpler, more compact design with improved vision definition and clarity.
· An ability to attach the endoscope to any arm, providing flexibility for visualizing the surgical site.
· Smaller, thinner arms with newly designed joints that offer a greater range of motion than ever before.
· Longer instrument shafts designed to give surgeons greater operative reach.
