The Octocon is an ingenious yet simple, widely applicable, non-invasive, and faster alternative to hand-stitched vascular anastomosis.
Coronary bypass surgery, often considered the 'gold standard' for treating advanced coronary artery disease, offers long-lasting results. However, even the latest surgical robots have yet to transition bypass surgery to an endoscopic procedure (using a small camera and tools through tiny incisions) and off-pump (without stopping the heart) in a way that is easy to adopt widely.
The main challenge lies in stitching blood vessels together reliably without direct access to the heart. Octocon, our automated vessel connection technology, addresses this problem, making fully endoscopic, off-pump coronary bypass surgery possible.
Make coronary bypass surgery simpler and more patient-friendly through minimally invasive endoscopic procedures.
Patients
After keyhole surgery, patients typically go home within three days, with a recovery time of just three weeks. A groundbreaking improvement in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
Surgeons
The surgeon can perform the procedure with ease-of-use, achieving a vessel connection significantly faster even under limited access, while reducing complications.
Hospitals
Reduce strain on the healthcare system by shortening hospital stays and recovery times.
Smart delivery system
