The two cochlear implant procedures using the investigational device were performed by Bruce Gantz, MD.

Key Points: 
  • The two cochlear implant procedures using the investigational device were performed by Bruce Gantz, MD.
  • "The precision, control and consistency of robotics-assistance during insertion of an electrode array into the cochlea is highly desirable.
  • The Company has developed technology that is designed to assist surgeons with the electrode array insertion phase of a cochlear implant procedure.
  • The intent is to allow the surgeon to maintain a standard cochlear implant surgical approach and workflow, utilizing the robotic-assistance of the iotaSOFT system during electrode alignment and insertion.
