About Us

Established in 2019, our company operates out of the global technology innovation hub of Shanghai. Dedicated to addressing unmet clinical needs, we envision a future where robot -assisted surgery (RAS) is the practical choice for minimally invasive patient care across all surgical specialties. We are committed to customer-centric innovation and optimizing cost-effectiveness of robotic surgery solutions while simplifying the learning curve and broadening RAS utilization across surgical specialties. In just four years, we accelerated from conceptual design to commercialization of our Carina™ Platform for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Our completely proprietary design is protected by more than 50 patent applications globally.

Carina™ differentiates from conventional robotic design through an innovative modular architecture that underscores the benefits of flexibility, adaptability, and affordability. Its independent patient carts provide flexible positioning, optimizing port placement and instrument manipulation for each surgical procedure. Their compact profile helps overcome spatial constraints, allowing for smooth and efficient movement between operating rooms. Carina™ enables truly on-demand configurability for optimal performance tailored to specific surgical needs.

We are driven by the relentless pursuit of positively impacting patient care on a global scale. Dedicated to promoting international academic exchange, we are growing our footprint through clinical partnership and collaboration with healthcare providers. Striving trelessly to make minimally invasive surgery more accessible to more patients, we stand for good health - for good.
