Medrobotics Completes $33.6 Million Series D Financing
Company Prepares for Commercialization of the Groundbreaking Flexâ„¢ Robotic System in Otolaryngology
RAYNHAM, Mass.--Medrobotics Corp., an emerging medical robotics company developing the innovative Flexâ„¢ Robotic System, announced today the conversion of notes totaling $33.6 Million purchased through recent financings into Series D Preferred Stock. Existing Medrobotics shareholders and undisclosed new investors participated in the Series D raise. Proceeds will be used for regulatory preparations and submissions and for anticipated commercial launches next year in Europe and the United States.
"Patients, surgeons, and hospitals will all benefit from the Flex Robotic System's enabling minimally invasive surgical technology," said Samuel Straface, Ph.D., president and CEO of Medrobotics. "The Flex Robotic System will provide transoral single-site access and visualization for surgery in hard-to-reach locations in the throat and voice box. Minimally invasive surgery has been shown to be more cost-effective and less painful for the patient and also leads to quicker hospital discharge and faster recovery."
The Flex Robotic System is anticipated to provide a costâ€effective, robot-assisted surgical platform for hospitals and surgeons eager to expand their offering of minimally invasive treatment options. In addition to ENT, the platform is being developed for several other single-site access surgical applications with difficult-to-reach anatomies.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
