Development for the ROBODOC® Surgical System Began in 1986; and in 1992, the ROBODOC® System made medical history as the first of its kind to be used on humans, assisting a surgeon in a Total Hip Arthroplasty procedure. Later that year, ROBODOC®, a CUREXO Technologe Company was awarded the prestigious Computerworld Smithsonian Award for Innovation in the Arts and Sciences for Medicine, under the name of Integrated Surgical Systems (ISS). To date, the ROBODOC® System has been used in over 24,000 joint replacement procedures worldwide and is shown to be less traumatic for patients and more precise than manual preparation techniques.
