REVO

Experience in the excellence of domestic surgical robot Revo-i led to an expansion of exchange with Uzbekistan urology medical professionals and supply chain

meerecompany (CEO: Joon Koo Kim) organized a product demonstration of the laparoscopic surgery robot Revo-i (hereafter referred to as Revo-i) for medical professionals in urology from Uzbekistan, Middle Asia, and the CEO of ENDO-Systems, a medical device company, for 3 days from April 20th to 22nd. Both sides exchanged a wide range of opinions on the introduction of Revo-i to Uzbekistan and the promotion of surgical robots in Middle Asia.

For this event, Dr. Boboev Alisher, a urology specialist who is the CEO of a medical device agency for Uzbekistan ENDO-Systems and is also operating Dr. Boboev Health Center, and Dr. Zarif Bakhadirkhanov, a urology specialist who has performed the most laparoscopic surgeries in the Republican Center of Urology, visited South Korea and experienced the excellence of the domestic surgical robot, Revo-i, for themselves. Dr. Boboev Health Center run by Dr. Boboev Alisher is particularly known to have the biggest, modern medical care infra in Uzbekistan. The healthcare center not only provides medical care for patients but also serves as a hub for Middle Asia medical care education and training centers.

These two doctors are key figures in the medical field in Middle Asia as well as Uzbekistan. Medical professionals from adjacent countries visit Tashkent to ask them for special education to learn their techniques and know-how.

Uzbekistan provides a geological advantage in advancing to adjacent countries in Middle Asia and is also known to have a relatively high level of medical care. Specifically, medical doctor's licenses from South Korea are also acknowledged in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan, based on the medical care cooperation plan between South Korea and Middle Asia. Accordingly, these countries are receptive to our Korean medical technologies and devices as well as our healthcare system.

However, it is known that Uzbekistan has not yet set up or installed any surgical robots. Medical professionals, as well as patients, are increasingly demanding the introduction of surgical robots since their efficacy has been demonstrated for clinical use and users. However, officials from Uzbekistan have said it has been difficult to respond to this demand due to the high price of traditional surgical robots and the absence of a distribution chain.

"The discussion on cooperation for introducing Revo-i and the product demonstration were very inspiring," said Dr. Boboev Alisher, who participated in the event. "I will talk about the excellence of the Korean surgical robot Revo-i in the upcoming meeting with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev that will be held in May at Dr. Boboev Health Center. I will also strongly suggest introducing Revo-i to hospitals in my country," he added.

This event built the basis for the ▲the establishment of Revo-i surgical robot supply channel, ▲establishment of Revo-i training vitalization plan for medical professionals in Middle Asia, including Uzbekistan, and ▲cooperation in expanding Revo-i robotic surgery clinical data. Based on this, it is expected that the surgical robot Revo-i is more likely to advance to the Uzbekistan market. Cooperation between two countries in the surgical robot field can be facilitated with the great robot technology and medical professionals of South Korea.

"This opportunity served as a bridgehead for actively advancing to Middle Asia, including Uzbekistan," said Ho Kun Lee, Executive Director, head of the Surgical Robot Industry Division at meerecompany. "We will spur global vitalization of use of Revo-i, which is ergonomically designed with a focus on the user convenience," he added.

Revo-i is a laparoscopic surgery robot that can be used for prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy, as well as high-difficulty surgeries such as hysterectomy and thyroidectomy. Manipulation of the robot involves wrist joint technology, flexible control, and a clear and magnified view based on the 3D technology.
