About Virtual Incision

Virtual Incision Corporation is a Lincoln, Nebraska surgical robotics company that spun out of the University of Nebraska in 2006 to miniaturise robotic-assisted surgery. Its MIRA Surgical System (MIRA stands for Miniaturized In Vivo Robotic Assistant) is described by the company as the world’s first miniaturised robotic-assisted surgery (miniRAS) device: a roughly two-pound robotic platform that arrives in a compact sterile tray, is inserted through a small incision and can be set up quickly in a standard operating room without dedicated infrastructure, room changes or specialised staffing. In February 2024 the U.S. FDA granted MIRA de novo marketing authorisation for adult colectomy procedures, and a version of the device was also tested aboard the International Space Station.

The company works from the Nebraska Innovation Campus, where its facility combines R&D, quality, assembly and test, and holds more than 200 patents and patent applications (company-stated). Follow-on mini robots for further abdominal procedures such as gallbladder removal and hernia repair are in development. Where mainframe surgical robots concentrate procedures in specialised centres, Virtual Incision’s pitch is a small, comparatively low-cost system that can act as a complement to mainframes or a stand-alone platform, widening patient access to minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The company is privately held.

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	8 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.
