In 2016, inspired by a vision to democratize surgery, Activ Surgical performed the first fully-autonomous suturing of soft tissue, outperforming open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted techniques (STAR)*. This breakthrough achievement demonstrates a new realm of possibility for medical technology. Now we’re on a mission to empower surgeons to achieve the best possible outcomes and saves lives.
With over 100 years of med tech experience, our team has a deep commitment to medical innovation, and we’re just getting started.
