Intelligent Arm Support system

iArmS

iArmS
With the proliferation of microscopes and endoscopes, long and delicate surgeries have increased, and physicians are increasingly requesting a reduction in physiologically induced hand fatigue. To meet this need, the "iArmS" was created through observation of surgical sites, interviews with doctors, careful analysis, and much trial and error.
 

What is iArmS?
what's iArmS
The "iArmS" is a surgical support robot that can "move," "stop," and "Intuitive" as if it were a part of the body.iArmS aims to maximize the doctor's concentration during surgery, and has achieved excellent operability, allowing the robot to move freely as if it were a part of the body.The robotic arm freely follows the position where the doctor wants to move his/her arm, and during surgery, the arm is firmly fixed to support the doctor's arm.
 

(Feature 1) Supports the surgeon's precise operations and provides shake reduction

Fingertip tremors and fatigue in micro-operation are major issues that cause a decline in the accuracy of procedures.The iArmS supports the physician's arm to reduce fatigue, alleviate mental and physical strain, and stabilize delicate tasks such as lexicography and resection.
 

(Feature 2) Without interrupting the surgical operation by operating switches, etc. Arm can be moved and secured in any desired position

The standard type can switch between two modes, 【Static】 and 【Dynamic】. 【Static】When the arm is not moved, it remains stationary at the desired position. "Tap" to Arm -holder move the arm. 【Dynamic】When the arm is not moved, it is stationary at the desired position, but if the arm is moved upward slightly, it can be moved to any location. At this time, the iArmS will automatically track. When you want to release the arm ,"tap" to Arm-holder stay the posision. *Except for foot switch type
 

(Feature 3) High safety

The "motor-less" structure, which is powered only by human power, is adopted. The movement is performed by the balance of gravity and arm movements without the use of a motor, and the structure can follow minute arm movements. This structure enables the high stability and light operability required in the medical field. In addition, the 5-axis structure provides wide-ranging support in accordance with the surgeon's arm movements. *Foot switch type switch is a foot switch.
 

Example of usage area
otorhinolaryngology 〇Endoscopic otoscopic surgery: The endoscope not only reduces the burden of grasping the endoscope, it also supports stable camera operation and reduces the burden on the entire body, thereby supporting precise operations. Example of use: Standard model (Dynamic mode) Wearing example: Endoscope grasping side 〇Laryngeal microsurgery: Provides a place to place the forearm without changing the surgical posture, reducing strain, fatigue, and tremors. Examples of use: Standard type (Static mode), foot-switch type Wearing example: opposite side of the dominant hand 〇Endoscopic endonasal surgery: This system not only reduces the burden of grasping the endoscope, but also supports stable camera operation and reduces the burden on the entire body, thereby supporting precision operations. Examples of use: Standard type (Dynamic/Static mode), footswitch type
plastic surgery 〇The system reduces the burden of long hours under the microscope and assists precision movement by immobilizing the forearm. Examples of use: Standard type (Dynamic/Static mode), footswitch type Example of application: dominant side or both arms
ophthalmology 〇Cataract surgery/glaucoma surgery/vitreoretinal surgery, etc. It reduces the burden of long hours under the microscope and supports precise movement by immobilizing the forearm. Example of use: Standard type (Static mode), Foot-switch type Example of application: dominant side or both arms
neurosurgery It reduces the burden of long hours under the microscope and supports precise movement by immobilizing the forearm. Example of use: Standard type (Static mode), Foot-switch type Wearing example: both arms or dominant hand side
