ENGLISH 23 requires close cooperation between materials scientists and suppliers. • Product life cycle: Developing products with a longer life cycle and promoting reusability are key approaches to reducing environmental impact while saving costs. 3.3. Adaptation to regulatory developments The ability to adapt quickly to new regulatory requirements is becoming a decisive competitive factor. Companies should consider the following strategies: • Early involvement of experts: Working with external consultants and experts can help companies respond to changes and take appropriate action at an early stage. • Investments in R&D: Companies can ensure their products meet the latest regulatory requirements while providing innovative solutions. • Global certification strategy: A comprehensive and forward-looking certification strategy that takes into account the varying requirements in different markets can help reduce barriers to market entry. 4. New developments in surgical instruments 4.1. Robot-assisted surgical systems Robot-assisted surgical systems have developed rapidly in recent years and offer a level of precision that is difficult to achieve with human hands. These systems enable minimally invasive procedures with high precision while reducing the risk of complications. • Da Vinci Surgical System: One of the best known systems that performs minimally invasive procedures and supports the surgeon through improved visualization and instrument control. • Mako Robotic Arm Assisted Surgery: Specially developed for orthopedic procedures, this system offers precise preparation and implementation of surgical procedures. • ExcelsiusGPS: A navigation system that combines robotic technology and imaging to optimize the placement of instruments and implants during spine surgery. 4.2. Intelligent surgical instruments Intelligent surgical instruments, equipped with sensors and AI, can provide real-time data and support the surgeon’s decision-making. These instruments contribute to improved precision and safety during operations.
