CMR Surgical (CMR), a global surgical robotics business has received regulatory approval for the Versius® Surgical robotic system from Anvitsa, Brazil’s Health Regulatory Agency.
Regulatory approval will pave the way for commercialization of the surgical robotic system in the high growth Brazilian surgical robotics market.
Brazil is a strategically important market for CMR where robotic assisted surgery is considered a key innovation for surgical practices. With significant growth in surgical robotic procedures in Brazil, there is strong potential for CMR to play a key role in further shaping surgical practices in the coming years.
Dr. Carlos Eduardo Domene, Head of Robotics, Rede D’Or Hospital Group, commented “Brazil is a country that is highly open to innovation in healthcare. When we observe the evolution of technology systems to carry out manually demanding complex procedures such as robotic assisted surgery we see substantial benefits for patients and surgeons.”
“Versius is already used by surgeons worldwide in different surgical specialties and we anticipate strong demand for Versius in Brazil. The small modular design makes Versius highly versatile and ideal for high utilization in operating rooms. Flexible financial options to help hospitals use Versius as part of value-based healthcare solutions are also available explains”, Marcio C. Coelho, Head of Operations LatAm, CMR Surgical.
