Register to receive a free TransEnterix, Inc., a medical technology company in the laparoscopic devices industry announced that it has received Japanese regulatory approval for the Senhance™ Surgical System on May 28th, 2019. TransEnterix is working to digitize the interface between surgeons and patients to improve minimally invasive hospital procedures.The surgical system has been cleared by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for procedures in laparoscopy, including general surgery, gynecology and urology. This is the first of its kind to be launched in Japan.
“Regulatory approval in Japan is a pivotal milestone for our company, as Japan is second only to the U.S. as the world’s largest surgical robotics market,” explained Todd M. Pope, president and chief executive officer of TransEnterix. “Japan’s high penetration of laparoscopic surgery coupled with their rapid adoption of robotics and the intense focus on procedure cost creates a considerable market opportunity for Senhance.”
Market Research, provided by iData, on the total U.S. market for laparoscopic devices is valued at over $4.69 billion in 2019. Growth in the overall market was driven primarily by increases in the number of laparoscopic procedures. The development of new products, including 5 mm laparoscopes, deflective tip laparoscopes, and two camera 3D video laparoscopes, is expected to drive unit sales based on their clinical benefits.
“Approval of the Senhance Surgical System for use in laparoscopic procedures in Japan is a major achievement,” said Professor Shigeki Yamaguchi, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Colorectal Surgery at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center. “As the first hospital in Japan to obtain and utilize the Senhance Surgical System to treat patients, I believe this technology allows surgeons to offer excellent minimally invasive procedures that add precision and visual control while leveraging a familiar laparoscopic approach with minimal additional costs to the health system.”
