One of the more successful surgical droids is the Geentech/IA 2-1B surgical droid. The 2-1B series was the result of a joint effort between Industrial Automation and a little-known medisensor company: Geentech. (Geentech was later run out of business in a series of legal maneuverings by the larger, more-sophisticated Genetech, which claimed that the smaller company's name infringed on sveral Genetech copyrights.)
Many of these versitile droids possess uncanny skill, specializing in fields like neurosurgery and optometry. Some can even perfrom advanced operations (such as the replacement of damaged organs and limbs with cybernetic components), though each 2-1B unit possesses a broad medical database. |
