“For remote surgery to be feasible, the system requires high-fidelity, low-latency, and secure communication over mobile and wide area networks,” said Darren Porras, Market Development Manager, Medical at RTI.

“Connext Anywhere addresses the biggest technical challenges in teleoperations today. We’re proud to be working with Monogram Orthopaedics as they break through barriers with this historic, fully remote demonstration.”

In March 2023, Monogram announced it had completed the world’s first fully remote, robotically-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Monogram combines personalised knee implants with precision robotic surgical assistants. The Austin, Texas-based company says that it can solve orthopedic surgical failures and complications using its robotic technology advances.
