Gentherm Designs ThermAffyx Patient Safety System for Robotic Surgeries
Gentherm Medical has developed the ThermAffyx Patient Safety System, leveraging automotive thermal management expertise for use in robotic surgeries. This system integrates patient positioning and warming into a single solution, aiming to address hypothermia and patient movement during procedures, particularly those requiring Trendelenburg positioning. The system is designed to minimize space requirements and eliminate the need for forced-air equipment, and has received Class II FDA clearance for maintaining normothermia and securement.
Why it matters
The system integrates patient positioning and warming, addressing challenges in robotic surgeries where these functions often compete for space.
