Capstan Medical

While Intuitive Surgical still leads the market, a number of other surgical robotics companies is making waves.

Capstan Medical announced its first in-human cardiac valve replacements using its catheter-based robotic surgical platform.

Nitinol has superelastic properties that allow medical devices using it to compress to a lower profile when placed in a patient.

Capstan Medical is developing a surgical robot for minimally invasive percutaneous replacement of mitral and tricuspid heart valves.
