At MMI, digital microsurgery represents the future of medicine by combining advanced robotics, data and connectivity to enhance surgical precision, streamline workflows and empower teams to deliver better patient outcomes.
Introducing the Synaptix™ Digital Surgery Platform
Synaptix: Where Intelligence Connects
The Synaptix Digital Surgery Platform is purpose-built to enhance the Symani Surgical System by supporting greater autonomy and workflow efficiency, improving the surgical experience for patients, surgeons, staff and hospitals.
Benefits of the Synaptix Digital Surgery Platform
Greater Autonomy
Real-time insights and status updates within the surgeon’s field of view enable confident, independent decision-making
Simplified Learning Curve
User guidance and intra-procedural image capture help shorten the robotic microsurgery learning curve and support peer education
Streamlined Workflow
Seamless integration into robotic workflows minimizes complexity, allowing staff to stay focused on patient care
Procedural Efficiency
Digital imaging and ergonomic motion guidance reduce disruptions and optimize transitions to teleoperation
Proven Impact on Procedure Time1
Improving Workflow Efficiency
Preclinical evaluation shows early promise for Synaptix in enhancing efficiency and reducing robotic microsurgery procedure time:
Methods: Twelve synthetic vessel anastomoses performed by three surgeons of varying specialties
- N=3 – Symani alone in 1mm vessels
- N=3 – Symani alone in 2mm vessels
- N=6 – Symani + Synaptix in 1mm vessels
- N=6 – Symani + Synaptix in 2mm vessels
Results:
- Improved operative efficiency (entry/exit into teleoperation mode)
- Reduced anastomosis time
- Eliminated need for staff assistance

Clinical Applications
Lymphedema
For patients suffering from lymphedema, access to surgical treatment options that may improve symptoms has been limited. The Symani Surgical System with the Synaptix Digital Platform helps surgeons expand into supermicrosurgery to repair lymphatic vessels.
Breast Cancer
Following breast cancer treatment, patients often receive breast implants. Autologous breast reconstruction offers an alternative that uses their own tissue. The Symani Surgical System with the Synaptix Digital Platform provides surgeons with enhanced precision and control for these delicate procedures.
Head & Neck Cancer
Following treatment for head & neck cancer, reconstruction can provide a means to restore function and quality of life for patients. The Symani Surgical System with the Synaptix Digital Platform provides surgeons with enhanced precision and improved ergonomics during these complex procedures.
Trauma
When a traumatic injury occurs, microsurgical techniques can be used to reconstruct or replant body parts to restore function and support healing. The Symani Surgical System with the Synaptix Digital Platform enables surgeons to confidently perform these procedures with precision and control.
