🔆Ethicon (J&J) MONARCH® Robotic Surgical Platform: A New Frontier in Precision Surgery for Nigeria and Africa. Ethicon, a surgical technologies division within Johnson & Johnson MedTech, has developed the MONARCH® Platform, a flexible robotic-assisted surgical system designed to augment precision, reach, and control in minimally invasive procedures. Originally commercialized via acquisition of Auris Health, Inc., […]
🔆MicroPort SkyWalker® Robotic Orthopedics:Precision Joint Surgery as a Strategic Opportunity for African Healthcare. The history of orthopedic surgery has always been a story of millimeters.A few degrees of alignment in knee or hip replacement can mean the difference between a decade of mobility and early revision surgery. After years observing surgical progress , from manual […]
Corporate History and Mission Microbot Medical is a medical technology company focused on the development of robotic platforms for minimally invasive endovascular procedures. The company was established with the strategic objective of advancing robotic-assisted navigation technologies that improve precision, reduce radiation exposure to clinicians, and enhance patient outcomes during complex vascular interventions. Headquartered in the […]
🔆 The Next Surgical Revolution Will Not Wait for Africa — Africa Must Lead It. With insight into decades of experience in operating rooms, clinical engineering labs, and surgical innovation programs, one truth is clear:Robotic surgery is no longer luxury technology. It is the new standard of safe, scalable, profitable healthcare delivery. MERIL Surgical Robotics […]
🔆Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System: Clinical Evidence, Healthcare Impact, and Strategic Value for Nigeria and Africa. The Medrobotics Flex® robotic system is a flexible, steerable surgical platform designed to extend minimally invasive surgery into anatomically challenging regions such as the oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and distal colorectum. Unlike rigid robotic systems, the Flex system’s articulated robotic endoscope […]
🔆Medicaroid Robotics and the Next Surgical Turning Point for Africa: A Clinical–Economic Perspective from Decades in Operating Theatres. There are moments in surgical history when a tool quietly changes everything. Not because it replaces the surgeon , but because it removes the limits around the surgeon. After observing years of evolution from open surgery to […]
🔆Levita Magnetics Robotics: Rewriting the Physics of Surgery for Africa’s Next Healthcare Era. The greatest surgical breakthroughs rarely begin with a new instrument.They begin with a new way of thinking. For decades, surgery has relied on a simple rule: every organ that needs exposure requires another incision, another instrument, another pair of hands. Magnetic-assisted robotic […]
🔆Medical Microinstruments’ Symani Surgical System: Redefining Precision Surgery for Africa’s Next Healthcare Frontier. There are moments in surgery when technology does not simply improve technique ,it reshapes possibility itself. After half a century observing the progression from open surgery to laparoscopy and then to robotic assistance, the smallest anatomical structures often determine the biggest clinical […]
🔆Historic NAFDAC Clearance of Robotic Surgery in Nigeria In late 2025, Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) granted regulatory approval for the Toumai robotic surgical system, developed by Shanghai MicroPort MedBot, for clinical use in Nigeria, making it the first country in West Africa to clear a robotic surgical platform.
