Versius Surgical Robot System
Versius resets expectations for robotic surgery. Versius fits into virtually any operating room setup and can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows, increasing the potential for robotic minimal access surgery (MAS). Versius' small, portable, modular design allows surgeons to use only the number of arms needed for a specific procedure.
Biomimulating the human arm, Versius allows surgeons to choose optimized port placement along with the dexterity and precision of a small wrist-worn instrument. An open surgeon console with 3D HD vision, easy-to-deploy instrument control, and ergonomic work position selection has the potential to reduce stress and fatigue, and allows for clear communication with the surgical team. By thinking laparoscopically and operating robotically with Versius, patients, surgeons, and healthcare professionals can all benefit from the value that robotic MAS brings.
But it's more than just a robot. Versius uses a broader digital ecosystem to collect meaningful data to support surgeons' continuous learning. Through the Versius Connect app, Versius Trainer, and CMR clinical registry, Versius unlocks rich insights that ultimately improve surgical care.
