OTTAVA - My detailed break down begins

What is different about the OTTAVA system from johnson & Johnson

It's here : the exciting launch of OTTAVA last week at the Society of Robotic Surgery in Miami. Following FDA Clearance via the de Novo pathway of Johnson & Johnson's new (and long awaited) soft tissue surgical robot OTTAVA. Over the coming weeks I'm pulling together all of my own personal thoughts and impressions about the system. I've been studying the patents for years - making guesses based of scant details - but now with the information in the public domain... I can make some adjustments to my thinking.


Here's a selection of first videos as I assemble my thoughts and piece together the possible advantages of the system.

OTTAVA Soft Tissue Surgical robot - First Impressions

Just to be clear. I can onlky make guesses based off publically available details - images - videos - patents and editorials quoting team members. I piece this together for educational purposes only - and please only use if for education. These are my opinions and can be wrong. And all trademarks and intellectual propert - images belong to their owners.
