Description of Company Mission
Blue Belt Technologies is developing compact, handheld, intelligent (robotic) tools for surgeons to enable them to make precise cuts.  Its real-time control system monitors the position of the tool and adjusts the depth of cut based on its proximity to bone that, or should not, be removed.  The company's first target procedure is spinal laminectomy, but it is also developing tools for othopedic (joint replacement) applications.
