Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-17 - Product Launch - Hellstern medical launches noac robotic surgeon assist in the U.S.
noac supports the surgeon's own body during open procedures rather than replacing their hands at a console: locked mode takes full lower-body load and full upper-body weight, while floating mode gives 70 to 80 percent upper-body support while following the surgeon's movement. The system has been in daily clinical use in European operating rooms for two years, is CE marked, and has supported hundreds of surgeries, with University Hospital Tubingen as the company's reference centre. Hellstern medical was selected into NATO DIANA from roughly 4,000 innovations in 2026, demonstrated noac at the Vigorous Warrior 2026 military medical exercise, signed an opt-in with Military Hospital Ulm, and reports a seven-figure military order; in the U.S. the system is FDA registered and listed as a Class I, 510(k) exempt device.
