Types Of Medical Robotics

 As robotic technology rapidly advances, many medical robots are now in use. In this article, we will explore some types of medical robots and their basic functions.

Surgical robots

Surgical robots enable surgical procedures to be performed with greater precision than a human surgeon can achieve unaided. Additionally, they facilitate remote surgeries, allowing a surgeon to operate on a patient without being physically present.

Robotic technology for assisting precise surgeries has rapidly developed in recent years, and there are now many different types of surgical robots available on the market. The following 10 brands of robots are some of the most well-regarded in the industry.

  • Perlove Medical Robot

Perlove Medical Robot is mainly used to assist with spinal surgery, including spinal deformity surgery, fusion surgery, tumor surgery, sacroiliac joint fixation surgery and thoracolumbar spine surgery.

Rehabilitation Robots

Rehabilitation robots assist and improve the lives of the infirm, elderly, and those with mobility impairments. They are also utilized for rehabilitation and related activities, such as training and therapy.

For example:
Hand rehabilitation training robot
Arm mobility rehabilitation robot
Ait training assistance robot

Disinfection Robots

Disinfection robots can disinfect an entire room in just minutes, typically using pulsed ultraviolet light. These systems are being utilized to combat Ebola virus disease

Ultraviolet disinfection robot, also called UVD robots, is a commonly used disinfection robots in healthcare settings where sterilization and reducing the spread of infections are critical. UVD robots typically utilize UV-C light, which has germicidal properties effective at killing or inactivating microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They can disinfect entire rooms quickly and efficiently, often in a matter of minutes, by autonomously navigating and emitting UV light.

Pharmacy Automation Robots

Thes robotic systems are used to dispense oral solid medications in retail pharmacies and to prepare sterile IV admixtures in hospital pharmacies.

Image Source: Pharmaceutical Technology

Pharmacy robots can accurately remember the storage locations of medications, retrieve them quickly, and reduce the chances of dispensing the wrong medication.

Laboratory Robots

Types of robots found in labs are specially designed to either automate processes or assist lab technicians in completing repetitive tasks.

For example

Microplate Readers:

Microplate Readers are integrated with microplate readers and can automatically acquire data from microplates. They are used for various applications such as ELISA and high-throughput screening.

Automated Pathogen Detection:

Robotic microscopes can automatically capture images of samples, such as cells or tissue sections. They are used for applications like high-content screening and digital pathology.

Hospital Robots

With a pre-programmed layout of their environment and built-in sensors, hospital robots deliver medications, meals and specimens around hospitals.

For example：

Moxi

Moxi supports hospitals in operating around the clock by assisting clinical staff with non-patient-facing tasks such as: Delivering medications, Running patient supplies, Delivering lab samples, Fetching items from central supply, and Distributing PPE.

Robotic Prosthetics

Robotic prosthetics focus on providing their wearers with life-like limb functionality.

Telepresence Robots

Telepresence robots enbable off-site medical professionals to move, look around, communicate, and participate from remote locations.

Biorobots

This category of robots is designed to mimic the cognition of humans and animals.

Companion Robots

They have the capability to engage emotionally with users keeping them company and alerting if there is a problem with their health.

Conclusion

The integration of robotic technology in the medical field is advancing progress in healthcare by enhancing precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. From surgical robots to rehabilitation and companion robots, these advanced robots are transforming the way medical professionals diagnose, treat, and care for patients. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative applications of robotics in medicine, leading to a future where healthcare is more accessible, effective, and tailored to individual patient needs. The potential of medical robotics is immense, promising to reshape the landscape of healthcare for years to come.https://www.perlove.net/types-of-medical-robotics-2/

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which will continue with a positive pressure mask airflow into the airway. Oxygen in this manner machine called CPAP machine. Refers to the spontaneous breathing condition, the patient should have stable respiratory drive and adequate tidal volume, the entire respiratory cycle artificially impose a degree of airway pressure, thus contributing to preventing airway collapse, increased functional residual capacity improve lung compliance, and improve oxygenation. In this mode, the ventilator only maintain a certain positive airway pressure, without mechanical ventilation. Only patients with spontaneous breathing. S1600 is the type of electrically and pneumatically controlled synchronous respirator with time switch. It is mainly used for the saving of patients with respiratory failure field surgical operation and resuscitation after surgical operation. It can be used in the ambulance transportation and surgical operation outside, respiration ...

CPAP continuous positive airway pressure  (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), namely with the mask will continuous positive pressure airflow into the airway. Use this way to oxygen machine called CPAP ventilator. So, what is the working principle of CPAP respirator? (perlong medical -- S9600 ventilator) In daily life, when we breathe, intrapulmonary pressure below the atmospheric pressure, air can enter lung, when the two kinds of pressure balance, the suction stop; exhale, intrapulmonary pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, breath, when intrapulmonary pressure increased continuously, and is equal to atmospheric pressure, breath stop. Application of continuous positive airway pressure, breathe in, there is a pressure to push air into the lungs, expiratory when also the existence of an additional pressure, prevent gas exhaled. The additional pressure on the inspiratory and expiratory all play a role, but no size change, it is called a continuous positive airway p...
