Ronovo Surgical was established in 2019 in the global technology innovation hub of Shanghai. Focused on addressing unmet clinical demands, we envision a future where robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is the sensible choice for minimally invasive patient care across all surgical specialties. Committed to innovation rather than imitation, we are broadening the application of RAS while optimizing cost-effectiveness and simplifying the learning curve. In just four years, we have accelerated from conceptual design to regulatory approval for our Carina™ Platform for robotic laparoscopic surgery. Our completely proprietary design is protected by over 150 patent applications globally.
As the first modular RAS platform designed in China, Carina breaks conventional robotic design through an innovative modular architecture with multi-specialty adaptability approach that underscores the benefits of flexibility, adaptability, and affordability. Its modular patient carts enable flexible positioning for port placement and instrument manipulation that is optimized for the specific procedure. Overcoming spatial constraints within and easily mobilized between operating rooms, the modular design of Carina translates to truly on-demand configurability for optimal performance, enabling hospitals to acquire the right robotic solution for their specific needs.
As we continue to innovate and address unmet clinical needs, we are deepening our collaboration with the surgical community on a worldwide basis. By initiating international partnerships and expanding our global footprint, we strive relentlessly to improve minimally invasive patient care, illuminating every patient’s journey with advanced medical technology.
