Our Technology – Acusurgical

Luca®

The First Bi-Manual Robotic Platform for Ophthalmic Surgery

Redefining control, stability, and precision in vitreoretinal surgery.

Extreme
Precision

With 20 times less tremor, Luca enables micron-level precision, redefining surgical capabilities.

Familiar
Instruments

Each robotic arm operates with standard vitreoretinal surgical instruments, providing a seamless transition for surgeons.

Ergonomic
Control

The surgeon controls two independent robotic arms from an ergonomic piloting station, ensuring maximum stability and accuracy

Shape the future of robotic-assisted retinal surgery

Vitreoretinal Surgery:
A Precision Challenge

A field where every micron matters. The complexity of retinal surgery demands extreme accuracy in a highly delicate and confined space

The challenges of vitreoretinal surgery: why precision matters

Micron-Level Precision Needed: The Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) is only 1-5 microns thick.
Gravity & Hand Tremors Impact Stability: Even minor hand tremors or gravitational forces can affect the outcome.
Ergonomic Limitations: Surgeons operate in uncomfortable positions for extended periods, affecting precision.

How luca overcomes these challenges

Tremor-Free Micron Precision – Luca eliminates hand tremors for greater control.
Gravity Compensation – Robotic stabilization neutralizes gravitational effects.
3D Vision & Ergonomic Control – Improved posture and depth perception for longer, safer procedures with better outcomes.

Clinical validation: ensuring safety and credibility

AcuSurgical is committed to clinical excellence. Our first-in-human study confirms the safety, precision, and seamless integration of Luca in vitreoretinal surgery.

First-in-Human Study Completed Successfully

In July 2024, AcuSurgical completed its first clinical trial using the Luca robotic surgical system for vitrectomy procedures.
This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of robotic-assisted retinal surgery.
Study conducted at Ghent University Hospital, Belgium
Led by Dr. Fanny Nerinckx, Senior Vitreoretinal Surgeon
Seven patients successfully treated with seamless integration of Luca into surgical workflow
Demonstrated safety & efficacy in robotic-assisted vitrectomy

The Luca® robot integrated seamlessly into our operating room workflow. We performed multiple surgeries in one day, efficiently executing standard vitrectomy procedures during this first-in-human clinical trial
