• Successful Spinal Surgeries Performed with CUVIS Spine at KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital in Malaysia

• Following the Joint Surgery Robot CUVIS Joint, Spinal Robot Now Supplied – Expanding Presence in the Malaysian Market

CUREXO, a medical robotics company, announced on the 27th that its spinal surgery robot, CUVIS Spine, was successfully utilized in two spinal surgeries at a local hospital in Malaysia.

The surgeries were conducted at KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital located in the state of Perak, Malaysia. The hospital had previously adopted CUREXO's joint replacement robot, CUVIS Joint, and with the recent introduction of CUVIS Spine, the company has further solidified its presence within the hospital. 

CUREXO stated that the spinal surgeries were completed successfully, receiving positive evaluations in terms of both safety and precision. CUVIS Spine, developed with CUREXO's own technology, enables preoperative surgical planning and features a high-precision robotic arm and real-time navigation tools, allowing for faster, more convenient, and more accurate surgeries compared to conventional manual procedures.

CUVIS Spine received regulatory approvals from Korea's MFDS in 2019, followed by Europe's CE and the U.S. FDA, and is currently being used in major hospitals both domestically and internationally. It has also been designated as an innovative medical technology and is undergoing evaluation at Severance Hospital and Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital for inclusion in the Korean national health insurance system.

A CUREXO representative stated, "The successful application of CUVIS Spine in real surgeries at a Malaysian hospital is highly meaningful. Building on this case, we plan to accelerate the expansion of spinal surgery robots across the Southeast Asian market."
