Advanced Osteotomy Tools AG (AOT), a Switzerland medical skills company, announces the launch of CARLO® in clinical use (First-in-man). Medical devices with the KUKA robot LBR Med are successfully used in the Department of Oral, Jaw and Facial Surgery at the University Hospital Basel.
Lasers and robots for orthopedic surgery
This time, robot-assisted laser bone chisels were used instead of conventional instruments such as saws, drills or chisels to cut human bones. CARLO® – short for Cold Ablation, Robot-guided Laser Ostetome – provides a way to perform osteotomy automatically, following a pre-planned cutting line through a full digital workflow and cryolaser resection. The laser head is mounted on the LBR Med, which has been specially developed for medical use. This skill allows surgeons to perform osteotomy with high precision, following the freedom theory, curve direction, and patient-specific configuration, which is not possible with conventional instruments.
The human clinical research of robot-assisted laser system for orthopedic surgery is the foundation for the mall
The human clinical research that is currently being put into the market should demonstrate the function and safety of CARLO® in the clinical setting. Because CARLO® is the best system of its kind, it puts forward very high requirements in terms of safety. These have been conducted in a number of preclinical studies with satisfactory results. The LBR Med benefits from the global and internationally recognized CB system certified robotic components that can be integrated into medical devices.
The sensitivity of the LBR Med is a key factor in the success of robotic-guided laser resection
Cyrill Bätscher, Chief Fulfillment Officer of AOT AG, commented: "We are very pleased to have completed the clinical use of CARLO® in humans. For the first time, our laser skills have enabled non-contact robotic surgery. Prof. Philipp Jürgens, Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Surgeon at the University Hospital Basel and co-founder of AOT, adds: "Although the laser itself is not touchable, CARLO® stops at the speed of light and can be easily removed in the event of an accident. Today's robot-assisted devices can't do that. ”
Robotic-assisted laser systems for orthopedic surgery are expected to experience significant clinical demand. "We believe there will be significant clinical demand for this innovative channel after it is approved for commercial sale in the coming months." Cyrill Bätscher explains. Laser osteotomy is an emerging category with great potential in orthopaedic surgery – and this is also true for KUKA's LBR Med.
CARLO® – with LBR Med
AOT AG's CARLO® medical device is a robotic-assisted laser system for performing cryogenectomy in the field of orthopedic surgery according to LBR Med.

KUKA robotic circuit board repair
For "online" measurement, the requirements consider that the components under test are affected by other parallel branches, and the measurement results should be analyzed and judged against the schematic diagram.
"Offline" measurement requires the components or circuits under test to be repaired and desoldered from the entire circuit or printed board, which is more troublesome to operate.
