    We’re thrilled to announce that the IGAR is the world’s first and only FDA-cleared, MRI-compatible robot. The clearance applies to breast biopsy indications. Thanks to our successful 510(k) application, IGAR is the first and only robotic guidance and placement system cleared to work inside an MRI bore, one of the most challenging hospital environments. Why is working in an MRI so challenging? The device uses strong magnetic fields and has a confined working area for physicians. Designing a system required a unique combination of world-class experts in minimally invasive surgery and robotics. Our story begins with Professor Mehran Anvari, a surgical robotics pioneer and the scientific director and CEO of the Centre for Surgical Invention and Innovation (CSii). His team funded the preliminary human trials for IGAR, collaborating with world-leading robotics engineers from MDA—Canada’s leading space company—to create and test the device’s first prototypes. We’re grateful to our partners at CSii, MDA, and the Canadian Government's Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program. In the future, the IGAR technology platform may be adapted to move seamlessly across different care environments, such as from an MRI to a standard operating room or into a physician’s office. We also envision future developments that would target other organs and disease indications, along with therapeutic delivery and device placement. We’re proud to have demonstrated IGAR’s safety and efficacy for breast biopsy in 30 patients. Our team is actively working to advance the IGAR technology to market as part of our ultimate vision to build robotics systems that make it easier to provide more targeted care everywhere. #medtech #robotics #medicaldevices
