Restoration Robotics, an independent medical device company, declared that a Canadian Medical Device License has been presented to its innovative ARTAS System. The ARTAS system has thus been validated to be marketed within Canada.
The ARTAS System enables physicians in rapid detection and collection of healthy follicular units from the patient’s scalp directly during hair transplantation. The ARTAS System’s convenient design and accessibility assure effective minimally invasive hair transplant procedures.
According to the Chief Executive Officer at Restoration Robotics, Jim McCollum, the ARTAS System gained rapid popularity among the patients and chief hair restoration surgeons in the U.S. This advanced technology has now been introduced in Canada.
The ARTAS System employs precision robotics and image guided technology for consistent, safe, and positive outcomes with the treatment. Following collaboration with various distinguished hair restoration surgeons and the achievement of 510K clearance from the FDA, this unique system has been developed.
The Medical Director at Restoration Robotics, Miguel Canales, MD said that the less invasive alternatives are more widely accepted rather than the existing hair restoration techniques. The demand for ARTAS procedure among patients has been increasing due to its outstanding features such as reliability, convenience and rapid recovery.
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) states that around 35 million men have been affected by baldness or androgenetic alopecia in the U.S. Hair transplantation involves introducing the active hair follicles on the patient’s scalp that stimulates new hair growth. This technique is the only permanent solution for hair loss.
