As a leading provider of robotic surgery in Malaysia, we are committed to providing patients with minimally invasive surgical options that lead to better outcomes and faster recovery.
The Da Vinci surgical robot is the latest and most pioneering system in Northern Malaysia, empowering our surgeons to perform intricate procedures with unparalleled precision.
The Da Vinci Surgical System: How It Works
The Da Vinci robot consists of an ergonomic surgeon console and a patient-side cart with four interactive arms, providing surgeons with a high-performance vision system and proprietary instruments. The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements in real-time to the robotic arms, allowing for smooth, precise control.
Endowrist Instrumentation
Provide surgeons with natural dexterity and range of movement far greater than the human hand.
3D HD Vision
3-dimensional, enhanced high-definition vision with 10 times magnification – offering surgeons an immersive view of the operation field.
Intuitive Movement
The surgeon’s hand movements are scaled, filtered and seamlessly translated into robotic arms and instruments.
