Microbot Medical Inc. highlighted that updated occupational protection guidelines from leading medical societies could strengthen the commercial position of its LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System.
Key takeaways
The Society of Interventional Radiology and Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe released updated joint guidelines on occupational protection in interventional radiology.
The guidelines provide safety guidance to physicians, radiographers, nurses, medical physics experts, and other staff involved in interventional radiology procedures.
Microbot Medical believes these guidelines could strengthen the commercial position of its LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System.
The LIBERTY System's remote operation capabilities aim to reduce radiation exposure and physical strain for medical staff.
At least nine medical societies, including the American Medical Association, endorse updated guidelines to lower radiation exposure and improve ergonomic issues.
