Berlin (ots Ad hoc-Service) -

Ad hoc-announcement edited and sent by DGAP. The sender is solely
responsible for the contents of this announcement.
SurgiScope, the new business
division of Eckert & Ziegler, delivers its first surgical robot
jojumarie Intelligente Instrumente GmbH, a subsidiary company of
Eckert und Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG, Berlin, has
delivered the first overhead robot for the treatment of brain tumors.
The machine was installed in the children's Hopital Necker in Paris
on Wednesday and will probably go into operation in November. The
robot costs approximately DM 1.5 million and is a product from the
SurgiScope business unit, which jojumarie GmbH acquired in September
from the American company Medtronic Surgical Navigation Technologies
Inc. There is now a total 36 SurgiScopes installed in leading
neurosurgical clinics in Europe, Asia, and America.
"The installation confirms that neurosurgeons continue to be
interested in innovative solutions for the treatment of tumors. Our
decision to venture into this business division has proved to be
right. In addition to the SurgiScope we will be presenting a second
robotics platform at the MEDICA, the exhibition of medical technology
to be held in November, that has been developed by ourselves to treat
prostate cancer", so the general manager of jojumarie Prof. Dr. Tim
Lueth. "This platform of diagnostics and positioning units ideally
complements the treatment of prostate carcinomas with miniaturized
sources of radiation. We hope that these intelligent systems for the
minimally invasive and low-price treatment of cancer with the
smallest and weakest possible radioactive sources will also gain the
same level of acceptance that they have already achieved in the
United States".
jojumarie Intelligente Instrumente GmbH is a leading developer and
manufacturer of navigated positioning and guidance instruments and a
joint venture partner of Professors Tim Lueth and Jürgen Bier and
Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG. Professor Dr. Lueth
and Professor Dr. Dr. Bier established the specialist laboratory for
Navigation and Robotics at the Berlin Charite Hospital. Eckert &
Ziegler AG and its subsidiary companies are active in the field of
innovative solutions for the treatment of cancer and cardiac
illnesses.
