Microrobot system is designed to float inside stroke patient for autonomous thrombectomy
- Artedrone has developed a microrobot system called Sasha for autonomous mechanical thrombectomies in stroke patients.
- The system uses magnets and robotics to help the catheter retrieve blood clots with the assistance of CT or MRI scans.
- The Sasha system creates a digital twin of the brain vasculature to guide the catheter to the clot.
- It uses an external magnet to navigate the catheter and address blood clots with a magnetic suction cup mechanism.
- The system is designed to be flexible yet strong, facilitating effective clot removal with minimal risk of clot fragmentation.
- Artedrone is aiming to democratize complex procedures and raise funding for clinical studies and development of the Sasha system.
- Challenges include identifying optimal healthcare centers and ensuring ease of use while navigating regulatory pathways.
- The system holds potential for broader applications in neurovascular, endovascular, and cardiovascular procedures.
- Overall, Artedrone's innovative microrobot system presents a promising solution for stroke treatment and beyond.
- The technology could have significant implications for addressing the substantial burden and costs associated with stroke globally.
