Robotic Camera Controller to provide a clear,
steady image, where the surgeon has full and
precise control enabling optimal efficiency in
the operating field.
Our client asked:
Prosurgics needed a partner to rapidly develop a more compact, user
friendly and lower cost robotic surgery device. The timescales to upgrade
their EndoAssist product were ambitious.
The project story:
Sagentia Innovation was responsible for the management and
coordination of all partners and appointed their own team of mechanical,
electronics and software engineers and work commenced immediately.
We worked with the client to optimise the BoM for both disposable and
capital elements and we managed the supply chain and manufacturing
transfer.
