Levita Magnetics, committed to expanding patient access to advanced surgical care, is celebrating a significant achievement in minimally invasive surgery with the deployment of its MARS Surgical System at a hospital in North Texas. This marks the first implementation of the MARS system in a private institution, signifying a crucial step in the global adoption of this innovative technology.
The MARS system, which merges magnetic technology and machinery, has received FDA approval for its ability to reduce incisions, enhance visualization, and streamline laparoscopic surgery. It is sanctioned for various abdominal surgeries, including bariatric, cholecystectomy, prostate, and colorectal procedures, promising patients reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic results.
Building upon the success of the Levita Magnetic Surgical System®, MARS incorporates proprietary Dynamic Magnetic Positioning technology with dual surgeon-controlled arms, improving visualization and control while reducing the need for additional surgical assistants. Its console-free, compact design is expected to enhance efficiency, personnel deployment, and patient experience in hospitals and surgical centers.
The first patient to undergo surgery with the MARS system shared positive feedback, emphasizing Levita's unique position as the sole provider of an FDA-cleared medical device that utilizes magnetism to minimize incisions and make surgeries less invasive. This impact benefits patients, surgeons, and hospitals alike, reflecting Levita Magnetics' dedication to advancing surgical care through innovative technology.
