Carina™ Robotic Assisted Surgery platform development

Our client asked:

Ronovo Surgical © asked Sagentia Medical to work collaboratively with its internal R&D team to ready its concept for detailed design and take the first iteration of the platform into product development. Carina™ is designed to enable more laparoscopic procedures to be done robotically, and it targets the clinical needs of patients being treated by laparoscopic surgery in China.

The project story:

  • Rigorous but pragmatic system architecture development
  • Informing the architecture with user insights, usability and workflow studies
  • Targeting COGS across the system, using our knowledge of design for manufacture and local supply chains
  • Rapid pace, compressing duration without unduly increasing risk

Results: deliverables and outcomes

Our work enabled the Ronovo Surgical © team to continue the development into a second iteration of the Carina™ system for human clinical testing. Ronovo Surgical © unveiled Carina™ in December 2022 and plans to commercialise Carina™ in China in 2024.
