"Robotic- assisted ablations allow physicians to plan and place the ablation probe with precision and obtain post-procedure confirmation of ablation success while reducing the radiation exposure to the patient and the physician." A minimally invasive procedure, Epione uses CT-guided navigation for the percutaneous ablation of tumors in the abdomen. A robotic arm guides physicians to the best entry point, allowing them to precisely insert a needle while avoiding critical structures. Because physicians can quickly perform these procedures, patients may be able to go home the same day. "Our mission has been to develop state-of-the-art technology that has the potential to help physicians improve the lives of patients diagnosed with cancer," said Bertin Nahum, CEO and co- founder of Quantum Surgical. "With yet another significant milestone, Epione has proved its relevance for interventional oncology. We aim to expand the availability of less invasive treatments for a greater number of patients."
