Slow and steady
The iotaSOFT system provides a slow and controlled insertion of the electrode array at speeds beyond human capabilities.
Always under your control
It’s our view that robotic-assisted systems aren’t valuable if they replace surgeon skill and experience. That’s why the iotaSOFT system is designed (by surgeons) to work with surgeons and enhance your skill. In fact, you’re going to free up a hand to help guide the array!
Tackles common barriers to expand access to cochlear implantation
people with disabling hearing loss
patients treating severe or complete hearing loss with CI
potential patients with moderate hearing loss
We designed the iotaSOFT system to be there to help during insertion, without disruption to your normal surgical flow.
Why use the iotaSOFT insertion system?
A growing body of literature supports the need for a steady, controlled and stable electrode array insertion to reduce potential damage to the cochlea.
Internal data shows that both insertion force and insertion force variation were lower on average with iotaSOFT use when compared to manual insertion.
The iotaSOFT system is designed to work with you, not against you. With a small footprint, it is designed to fit in your current workflow to enhances your procedure during that critical insertion phase. Because it holds the array stable in the desired trajectory, the system frees up your hand during the insertion.
