A new era in surgery is coming
We are bringing over a century of experience working alongside surgeons to usher in the next era in surgery.
The future of robotic surgery will be more human, more adaptive and more connected.
We are developing a robotic surgical platform that will set a new standard for the modern OR and transform the surgical experience.
Designing in partnership
We're working together with surgeons, clinical teams, and hospitals to find ways to better serve patients through the promise of robotic surgery.
Focusing on the biggest challenges of today
of surgeons cite scheduling and access to the robot as a top barrier to performing more cases robotically.1
By designing robotic surgery systems to better integrate into existing hospital systems and surgical workflows, technology can help enable greater access.
As surgeons and surgical teams face the physical and mental pressures of surgery, new technologies can enable teams to work more comfortably, engage more seamlessly and move through the OR more easily.
of general surgeons suffer from symptoms of burnout.2
of the world’s data is health data.3
Connecting health data inside the OR and out can surface insights for surgical teams to support decision making when it matters most.
OTTAVA™
The OTTAVA™ Robotic System is under development and is not authorized to be marketed or sold in any market.
“We believe the future of surgery is personal. Starting with the human impact – the connection between the patient, surgeon, and OR staff – we are unlocking what science and technology can do to improve the surgical experience and health outcomes for everyone involved. OTTAVA is designed to consistently deliver this experience in any OR globally.”
Hani AbouhalkaCompany
Group Chairman, Robotics & Digital
“The industry needs a system that is adaptable, easy to use in any OR in the world, and maintains space in the OR. As surgeons, we need space to improve the workflow in the OR, increase safety, and enable 360-degree patient access so we can perform at the capacity that we would like to. That’s where OTTAVA comes in. OTTAVA offers a unique design that incorporates into any OR and allows surgeons to do what they would like to do and know how to do, which is focus on the patient.”
