Clinical partnership for through-the-scope robotics for endoscopy

We are looking for clinical partners, especially hospitals and gastroenterology/endoscopy teams, who are open to innovation and interested in evaluating a lightweight through-the-scope robotic instrument platform for endoscopic procedures.

Our first prototype is a steerable ESD knife. We are particularly interested in collaborations with endoscopists who want to test through-the-scope robotics and an intuitive user interface that enables easy access to endoscope-decoupled dexterity.

Potential collaborations include pre-clinical prototype evaluation and usability feedback. We are open to long-term strategic partnerships with innovation-oriented clinical teams, with clinical testing as a later step.

Our system consists of an ESD knife with a flexible tip for through-the-scope robotic functionality. It can be retrofitted into standard gastrointestinal endoscope working channels of 2.8 mm and above. A wireless control unit, attachable to the endoscope, together with an actuation unit, provides robotic actuation and assisted functionality.
