Distalmotion alternatives

Distalmotion, founded in Epalinges in the Lausanne area in 2012, commercialises the DEXTER robotic system for soft-tissue surgery: it is sold in Europe, holds US FDA clearances covering cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair and colorectal procedures, and has raised a reported US$390M with a team estimated at about 220 people and a US office in Cleveland. Surgical robotics buyers rarely compare like with like, because each platform below owns a different clinical territory. PROCEPT BioRobotics focuses entirely on urology from San Jose: its Aquablation therapy treats benign prostatic hyperplasia with a heat-free waterjet, its HYDROS system is cleared in the United States, the EU and the UK, and the NASDAQ-listed company employs 888 people. SS Innovations designs and manufactures the SSi Mantra system in Gurugram, India, explicitly to make robotic surgery affordable for hospitals that cannot support incumbent platform costs, with approvals across parts of Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Globus Medical, of Audubon, Pennsylvania, brings robotic navigation rather than a soft-tissue arm: its ExcelsiusGPS platform guides spine and cranial surgery and has been in clinical use since 2017. MMI works at the smallest scale, with the Symani system for microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, manufactured near Pisa and FDA-authorised in the US. PROCEPT fits dedicated urology, SS Innovations cost-sensitive general surgery markets, Globus spine programmes, and MMI reconstructive microsurgery.
