About EndoRobotics
EndoRobotics develops flexible robotic systems for endoluminal and minimally invasive procedures. ROBOPERA works with an endoscope to provide articulated instruments for dissection, suturing and other therapeutic tasks inside the gastrointestinal tract.
The platform is intended to give clinicians stable bimanual control through a natural orifice approach. Procedure support, training requirements, regulatory status and availability depend on the configured system and market.
