About Us

Founded in 2019, Ronovo Surgical is established in the global innovation hub of Shanghai. We are dedicated to addressing unmet clinical needs in surgery through the application of robotic and digital technologies. We are committed to customer-centric innovation to optimize cost-effectiveness of high-performance robotic solutions while reducing learning curve and broadening utilization across surgical specialties.

Following this principle, we have designed the Carina™ Platform. Featuring our proprietary IP and technology, Carina™ consists of an endoscopic surgical robot, high-definition imaging system, full suite of surgical instruments, and a series of other surgical accessories. We accelerated from concept design to regulatory approval and commercialization in four  years.

Our relentless pursuit of excellence positions Ronovo to positivelyimpact patient care on a global scale. Ronovo is dedicated to promoting international academic exchange while growing our footprint through clinical partnerships as we continue to foster collaboration between industry and healthcare. We will strive tirelessly to make minimally invasive surgery more accessible for good health, for good.
