CorPath GRX facilitates up to 20% reduction in radiation doses to patients.

India. Siemens Healthineers has now added in its portfolio an FDA-approved and CE-certified robotic system, CorPath GRX for coronary and peripheral vascular interventions in India.  The recent development will provide an enormous impetus to the Indian Healthcare sector. Tapping into the adjacent growth markets with great potential for future, the state-of-the-art technology has opened a new domain for advanced therapies business. The robotic system for minimally invasive procedures can help doctors to accurately control guide wires, catheters, balloon, or stent implants with virtual imaging. The physicians can control the operation with a separate controlling module and can prevent standing at the angiography table as usual to prevent from radiation.

There has been an increase in incidences of cardiovascular disease (CVDs), especially coronary heart diseases worldwide. With coronary diseases and diabetes becoming leading cause of mortality in India, the country is taking a lead towards becoming the world’s capital of coronary heart diseases. As per recent study, one in four deaths in India can be contributed to ischemic heart diseases whereas 80% of this burden can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of CVD risk factors including lifestyle changes and poor diet.

The ideal treatment for cardiovascular medical conditions such as heart diseases include complex procedure in the coronary arteries that require precise medical intervention for which the surgical robotics can aid significantly. The smart procedural automation with vascular robotics can lead to shorter operation time, quicker recovery, and better clinical outcomes. Adoption of surgical robots can help to address the key geographical challenges such as limited availability of specialists and corresponding clinical facilities for minimally invasive surgeries.

Siemens Healthineers products makes treatments minimally invasive using high quality imaging before and during medical interventions, which is now being complemented by precision, protection, and standardisation through robotic devices.

Addressing the launch of CorPath GRX, Head of Advanced Therapies, Siemens Healthineers, India said, “Together with our strong portfolio in medical imaging, digitalisation and artificial intelligence, we are creating significant synergies to advance therapy outcomes. The interplay of protection, precision and standardisation through robotic-assisted interventions will allow the cardiologists to perform complex procedures faster and better. This will allow specialists to improve procedural quality and expand precision medicine; thereby improving clinical outcomes for the patient.”

TechSci Research said, “With the rising occurrences of chronic diseases along with increasing geriatric population, the demand for minimally invasive surgeries with surgical robots will continue to grow. The adoption of surgical robots in different fields for better outcomes and quicker recovery has fuelled the global surgical robots market. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning with robotics will only add to the market growth.”
