Washington Hospital Healthcare System First to Use THINK Surgical’s TMINI Miniature Robotic System

Fremont, California-based Washington Hospital Healthcare System and orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Alexander Sah have performed the first cases using THINK Surgical’s TMINI™ Miniature Robotic System, which was cleared by the US FDA in April 2023 and is now being commercialized across the United States.

Washington Hospital Healthcare System includes a 415-bed acute care facility in Fremont that is committed to meeting the needs and challenges of the ever-changing community it serves in the Bay Area of California.

The TMINI system includes a wireless robotic handpiece that assists surgeons in performing total knee replacement surgery. Following a CT-based three-dimensional surgical plan, the TMINI robotic handpiece automatically compensates for the surgeon’s hand movements to precisely position surgical instruments. The TMINI system is easy to use and replaces many of the manual instruments currently used in knee replacement surgery.
