BREAKING NEWS ‼️
Intuitive have just announced that the da Vinci 5 has obtained CE mark.
This will send shockwaves across the EU robotics market.
Why - because they got broad procedure acceptance - general surgery, pelvic surgery, Urology, GYN, and thoracic and more.
Not just that they got the full power of the system - with the tower, the 10,000X compute, the Force feedback and the full goodies.
This is going to have a massive impact on surgical robotics in Europe - especially if they continue their pay per use models.
The power of the tower is now unleashed in Europe - and that means KARL STORZ Olympus Corporation Braun and all the tower manufacturers need to accelerate.
It also means added pressure to Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic as this system comes fully loaded with advanced energy and stapling.
(Good to see Medtronic upgraded Hugo as well today with Ligasure and Rubina)
Surgical robotics in Europe is about to go to the next level !! Society of Robotic Surgery | SRS this year is going to be amazing to se all of this tech rolled out.
What a time to be in this market !!!!!!!

SkyWalker™ adopted into NICE guideline
Six systems for orthopaedic surgery have been given the green light by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) under its early value assessment programme, includes SkyWalker™, Mako and ROSA, etc.This is the first time that Chinese surgical robots have been recommended for use in the NHS.
SkyWalker™ has strong operability and adaptability, with a simple system installation process, smooth intraoperative operations, fast operation efficiency, reduced dependence on physician experience, decreased patient injuries, and accelerated patient recovery. Clinical data shows that the SkyWalker™'s accuracy in lower limb alignment, surgery time, blood loss, and postoperative knee joint clinical functional assessment are at an internationally leading level. SkyWalker™ assists in joint replacement surgeries by reducing the angle deviation of the replaced joint to within 0.5°, while also halving the surgery time and reducing blood loss by more than 30%.
SkyWalker™ has approved by NMPA、FDA、CE、TGA、ANVISA、MHRA、CDSCO、MHLW、CCPSA，and has been clinically applied in orthopedics, joint surgery, and sports medicine departments of 90 hospitals in more than 20 countries around the world, including China, the United States, Germany, Spain, and Brazil, assisting in the implementation of more than 2000 TKA surgeries.
“These innovative technologies can potentially transform orthopaedic surgical care in the NHS. The data gathered over the next three years will allow us to evaluate exactly how these technologies can improve patient care and help ensure NHS resources are directed toward interventions that deliver meaningful clinical benefits and long-term value to our health service,” commented Dr Anastasia Chalkidou, programme director of NICE’s HealthTech programme.

The ortho robotics market is still a frontier and not yet a battlefield. This chart offers a rare peek into a space that, until now, has operated with more mystery than clarity.
With no centralized claims data and fragmented reporting, understanding market leadership in orthopedic robotics has felt more like speculation than science.
But this slide changes that—at least directionally (*Shout out to Brandon Wade and the team at Health Advances for this graphic.)
By comparing publicly stated procedure volumes, we begin to see a clearer landscape. Stryker’s Mako remains the dominant force.
Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA and Smith+Nephew’s NAVIO/CORI have earned meaningful traction.
And perhaps most notably, Globus Medical’s ExcelsiusGPS is gaining ground fast—thanks to the transparency they've offered by releasing growth data others won’t.
It’s important to say: this is not an exact market share breakdown.
It doesn’t reflect total penetration, nor does it consider the nuances of hospital system contracts or implant alignment. But it does signal momentum—and momentum attracts money, talent, and market share.
What stands out is how underpenetrated the market still is.
For all the noise, the ASC (ambulatory surgery center) space is just getting started. And that’s where the battle will be won or lost.
The key question: will adoption follow legacy implant lines, or will open systems and robotics-native platforms (like those from THINK Surgical, Monogram, or even J&J’s VELYS) reset the playing field?
This market feels like soft-tissue robotics in 2005.
Back then, Intuitive’s da Vinci wasn’t yet the 800-pound gorilla.
Today, it dominates.
The race is on.
And with the convergence of robotics, AI, and patient-specific implants, we may be closer to the tipping point than we think.
Watch this space closely.

A great attempt and exploration, the combination of metaverse and robotic surgery technology, will bring unprecedented changes to the field of training, create a richer and more efficient learning environment for students, and promote the development of education towards a more equitable and personalized direction.
In the future, virtual surgical simulations in the metaverse will provide an excellent training platform for doctors. Through virtual reality technology, doctors can simulate various complex surgeries in a virtual environment, such as tumor resection surgery. In virtual surgery simulation, doctors can observe the surgical site from all angles and simulate various surgical situations, including normal operations and possible unexpected situations such as blood vessel rupture and organ adhesion. This immersive training method allows doctors to accumulate rich experience before actual surgery, improve surgical skills, and enhance their ability to respond to unexpected situations.
Congratulations,Dr Ahallal and the Oncorad Group teams.

Not all robots are da Vinci 💥
Mendaera, Inc. is one of the growing specialised architectures of robotics that are getting smaller and smaller. And they just got FDA clearance this week.
As part of a growing number of small form factors that use robotics for precision even when the "payload" delivery is the human arm.
Like THINK Surgical, OBVIUS Robotics, Inc. and Microbot Medical - they are all smaller (and often even hand held.) versions of robotics. Different approaches to specialist applications.
For Mendaera - Focalist - their flagship product is a hand held navigation guided needle delivery device - it can be used for vascular access, Fine Needle Aspiration, and other needle based procedures.
If you compare this to say Quantum Surgical - and Epione - it's a different approach to do a similar function. You can't do everything a large system can do today. But others like OBVIUS Robotics, Inc. are also going down this route. It's a way of using parts of the robots in clever ways for specialist applications.
One of the best versions of using robotics in a hand held format (I've seen in the last weeks) is THINK Surgical and their T-Mini. Hand held orthopaedics robot. Worth looking at the video on their site, and see how this is a "lighter" touch to say a Mako - but with the potential to offer similar results - just - well - hand held.
In these systems you don't "get everything." But their philosophy is "You don't need everything."
These super specialist mini format robots won't replace all the large form factors - but we will see increasing numbers that will fit work flow - site of care and bring enough benefits through robotics to be major upgrades at affordable prices in healthcare. Plus they start to bring in that all important data and digital supportive workflow.
Think about Mainframes - to laptops - to iPhones...
Watch this space.

Have you ever tried to tie your shoe laces with one arm?
There are today over 30 spine surgical robots that are commercial or in development, and this one is coming out of Switzerland.
Last week LEM Surgical AG - a robotic startup founded in 2021 and named after a science fiction writer - announced FDA clearance for the 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.
The team has been developing this hard-tissue surgical robot that is not like most solutions available today that feature 1 arm holding 1 tool for pedicle screw placement.
Dynamis is the first-of-its-kind multi-arm system designed to help perform various procedures, starting with spine surgery.
The goal is to provide a bilateral, full body coverage, instrument agnostic robotic platform that will be capable of assisting in all procedural steps.
The North Star being 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆.
Once the cart is rolled under the table, the 3 arms are deployed around the patient and the device uses more than 11 cameras to get a full understanding of what's happening outside and inside the patient.
The company plans a limited product launch in the US this year, and is currently raising a Series C round to support commercialization.
To understand the why behind LEM Surgical, take 10 minutes to listen to the CEO Yossi Bar speaking at LSI USA'25 Emerging Medtech Summit:
