Problem
Traditional laparoscopic surgery can be limited by reduced dexterity, restricted range of motion, and 2D visualization, potentially leading to increased surgeon fatigue and suboptimal outcomes. Existing robotic-assisted surgical systems often require dedicated operating rooms and are not easily integrated into diverse surgical environments.
Solution
CMR Surgical's Versius Plus is a modular, robotic-assisted surgical system designed to enhance minimal access surgery. Versius Plus provides surgeons with improved dexterity through biomimicry of the human arm, a 710° range of motion, and 3D HD visualization. Its compact, portable, and modular design allows for seamless integration into virtually any operating room, promoting flexibility and efficiency. The system's open surgeon console is designed to reduce stress and fatigue while facilitating clear communication with the surgical team. A digitally driven ecosystem delivers software-based feature improvements, real-time data insights via Versius Connect and Versius Team, and clinical and operational monitoring. The integrated vLimeLite fluorescence visualization system enables real-time ICG imaging for enhanced visual information during procedures.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons and hospitals seeking to enhance their capabilities in minimal access surgery, specifically for procedures like cholecystectomy, with a versatile and adaptable robotic-assisted system. The platform also supports expansion into gynecology, with a 510(k) submission filed for benign gynecologic indications.
