I look forward to working with everyone at CMR to bring the benefits of surgical robotics to hospitals and surgeons around the world.”
Per Vegard Nerseth said: "During my time at the Company I am proud to have seen CMR expand its commercial operations and bring Versius into the hands of more surgeons and hospitals. After experiencing strong growth, CMR is now the second largest surgical robotics company on the market with a significant presence across four continents. I look forward to seeing the Company continue to grow so that more hospitals and patients can benefit from minimal access surgery.”
CMR now has operations in more than 20 markets with growing demand for a versatile surgical robotic system. Versius is the only small, versatile, modular, and portable surgical robot on the market and is suitable for all sizes of hospitals and surgical care centres. The system allows surgeons the versatility to perform fully robotic as well as a combination of robotic and manual laparoscopic procedures, giving them freedom to decide how to provide patients with the best possible surgical care.
