The 'Surgical Equipment Monitoring’ patent relates to a system that monitors surgical equipment to identify the potential malfunction and misuse during a surgical procedure to maximize the chances of mitigating the issue before complications arise. With surgical equipment issues resulting in so many complications during surgery, and the demonstrable improvement in complication rates that come with safety checklists, this system offers a promising solution for the over 200 million surgeries that are performed which produce unacceptably high adverse event rates for surgical conditions. Inventors on the patent include world renowned orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Roh.
"We are extremely pleased that the USPTO has issued this patent. This issuance, along with many others we are expecting over the coming months will put our company in an extremely strong position as a leader in medical robotics IP" commented Simon Robinson, Managing Partner of IX Innovation. "We believe that the issued claims will provide critical market protection for Surgical Equipment Monitoring through at least 2042. As we continue to assess the surgical landscape, there appears to be sustained and increasing demand for newer solutions to addressing this problem. We will be actively looking to monetize this patent and related family through sale, licensing or by leveraging our networks to work with an established startup company.”
