About Distalmotion

Distalmotion is a Swiss surgical robotics company founded in 2012 and based in Epalinges, in the Lausanne area, with a US office in Cleveland, Ohio. Its product is DEXTER, a robotic system for soft-tissue surgery built on what the company calls "on-demand robotics": instead of locking a surgical team into a fully robotic workflow, DEXTER is designed to let the surgeon move between laparoscopic and robotic steps within the same procedure, working from an open, sterile-compatible console architecture. That design choice is the company’s main point of difference in a field dominated by closed, large-footprint systems, and it targets hospitals that want robotic precision without rebuilding their operating rooms or retraining entire teams.

In the United States, DEXTER has received FDA clearances across high-volume soft-tissue procedures, most recently expanding to colorectal surgery, and the system is also commercialised in Europe. Distalmotion sells to hospitals and surgical centres that are under pressure to standardise outcomes while keeping procedures economically viable at community-hospital scale, not only at flagship academic centres. For global partners, it is a notable European challenger in surgical robotics: a company attempting to widen the market for robotic soft-tissue surgery rather than compete only at the premium end, backed by substantial late-stage financing.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
