About AOT Swiss
Cut with Light CARLO is a pioneering company in the medical device industry, offering the first certified surgical device that utilizes laser technology to cut bone. The core product, CARLO, stands for Cold Ablation Robot-guided Laser Osteotome, and it integrates an advanced Er YAG laser head with a tactile robotic arm, a 3D navigation system, and specialized software for preoperative planning and intraoperative use. This platform empowers surgeons with full control over a digitized workflow, enabling optimal surgical outcomes. CARLO's autonomous capabilities set it apart as the first truly autonomous surgical robot, overcoming the limitations of traditional mechanical instruments that restrict surgeons to straight cuts or round holes. The laser technology allows for limitless, patient-specific cut geometries, including puzzle piece cuts that fit perfectly together, enhancing the regenerative ability at the cut surface and facilitating bone healing. Unlike mechanical instruments, lasers do not blunt or deform and are inherently sterile, offering significant advantages in surgical procedures. The company primarily serves the healthcare sector, targeting surgeons and medical institutions seeking advanced surgical solutions. By providing this cutting-edge technology, Cut with Light CARLO generates revenue through the sale and distribution of its surgical devices, positioning itself as a key player in the market for advanced surgical tools.
