Problem
Traditional robotic surgery systems are large, expensive, and require dedicated operating rooms with significant infrastructure modifications. This limits access to robotic-assisted minimally invasive procedures, preventing many surgeons and patients from benefiting from these advanced techniques, particularly in outpatient settings like ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
Solution
Distalmotion provides the DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System, a small, mobile platform that integrates into any operating room without requiring modifications. The system's draped console keeps the surgeon within the sterile field, enabling quick bedside access and continuous communication with the surgical team. DEXTER's open architecture allows surgeons to use their preferred visualization and advanced devices, while its instinctive design supports a smooth learning curve. With a docking time of approximately four minutes, the system is designed to be set up and ready for surgery quickly, maximizing OR throughput and enabling seamless transitions between laparoscopic and robotic techniques.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and surgeons seeking to establish or expand robotic surgery programs without major infrastructure investments or workflow disruptions.
