September 19, 2024 / OrthoSpineNews / – IMPLANET, a medical technology company specializing in implants for orthopedic surgery and the distribution of advanced medical equipment, will share booth #2412 alongside fellow innovator 8i Robotics, pioneering the development of a multi-arm robot system for use in spine and orthopedic surgery, at the NASS meeting to be held from September 25 to 27 in Chicago. Implanet will be featuring its full range of spinal implants and Olea, its ultrasonic osteotome technology.
“We’re extremely excited to introduce the surgeon community at NASS to Olea as well as the complete Implanet portfolio while sharing the booth with our friends and colleagues at 8i Robotics,” said Max Painter, Vice President and General Manager of Implanet America. “It’s rewarding to be able to have two innovative companies sharing groundbreaking technology side by side, and an honor to be collaborating with Dr. Victor Yang and his team. It will be extremely gratifying to present our game-changing surgical solutions to our surgeon partners in Chicago.”
Implanet’s Olea ultrasonic scalpel technology enables surgeons to perform safer and more controlled bone removal while sparing soft tissue and neural structures. The device’s longitudinal non-rotating micro-vibration frequency enables efficient and precise cutting while significantly reducing harmful noise pollution found in competitive systems. 
Olea’s blade is cooled by a built-in irrigation system. This versatile and easy-to-use device is low noise and emits low heat in the robust titanium handpiece. A full range of lengths is available to suit various applications in addition to spine surgery. The device is designed to also be used for effective, precise cutting, drilling and grinding in neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, joint surgery and endoscopic surgery, in addition to spine procedures.
In the innovations-themed exhibit booth, 8i Robotics will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind multi-arm surgical robot technology. The system builds on the latest state-of-the-art developments in robotics, surgical navigation, and optical imaging technologies to offer a modular platform for precision surgery.
