ACTIVE INSTRUMENTS Gesellschaft für Präzisionschirurgie mbH

About ACTIVE INSTRUMENTS

ACTIVE INSTRUMENTS Gesellschaft für Präzisionschirurgie mbH develops, consults on and distributes solutions in the field of microsurgery, surgery and endoscopy, including service. At the core is a modular system platform of hand-guided, intelligent instruments with sensor-integrated, actively moved working tips. The position and movement of the instrument are continuously analyzed with computer assistance, so that, for example, poor posture or tremor affects the manipulation less strongly and active operations such as the automatic grasping of needles become possible. The instruments target applications at the limits of human fine motor skills, for example in micro, neuro and ophthalmic surgery, in stereotypical tasks such as the closure of larger wounds, in situations with restricted instrumental and visual access, and in surgery on the beating heart. The company sees itself as an alternative to stationary robotic or manipulator systems and advertises advantages in terms of practicality, range of application and cost-effectiveness. The team consists of physicians, engineers and designers and works closely with users from hospitals and practices. The company is based in Schondorf am Ammersee in Bavaria.
