RobSurgicalFounded in 2012, its primary goal is democratize high-precision surgerymaking it more safe, efficient and accessible for healthcare facilities of any size.
The integration of the company into the hub It was confirmed after a meeting held this morning between Pere Navarro, special delegate of the State to the Barcelona Free Zone Consortium (CZFB), and Mario Ferrados, Managing Director from RobSurgical, where the company's activities and future growth plans were discussed.
RobSurgical's core technology is a surgical robot that focuses on improving efficiency and usability in the operating room. This system allows the performance of hybrid surgeriesCombining Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS) techniques into a single procedure. The robotic system, whose robot Bitrack It has been successfully tested in urological procedures, and is distinguished by being portable, flexible and quick to installThese qualities facilitate its adoption in small and medium-sized hospitals, thus expanding access to robot-assisted surgery. Currently, the company, which maintains a production plant in El Prat de Llobregat, is in process of expanding its surgical indications.
The importance of DFactory Barcelona
El Managing Director by RobSurgical, Mario FerradosHe emphasized the strategic value of this alliance: “DFactory Barcelona offers us an advanced innovation environment ideal for the development of cutting-edge technology in surgical roboticsFurthermore, it allows us to attract talent Highly qualified in engineering, robotics and biomedicine, and fosters connections with research centers and technology companies, thus accelerating the development of innovative medical solutions.”
For its part, Pere NavarroThe special state delegate to the CZFB highlighted how the arrival of RobSurgical strengthens the ecosystem: “The incorporation of RobSurgical into the DFactory Barcelona ecosystem It reinforces the importance of Industry 4.0 applied to healthcare.RobSurgical's commitment to democratizing high-precision surgery, making it more accessible and safer, is an example of the positive impact of technology on people's lives. We love to support projects that transform the industry and They improve health and the quality of care. of the people.”
Navarro also added that the Catalan company is an example of the potential of hub to attract transformative projects, emphasizing that the robotics applied to health It represents “innovation with a real impact on quality of life.”
DFactory Barcelona is consolidating its position as the ecosystem of 4.0 industry an international leader, already home to 40 companies and research centers collaborating on cutting-edge projects in areas such as robotics, sensory3D printing, artificial intelligence and Blockchain. Furthermore, the hub It is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion plan that will take it from its current 17.000 m² to 60.000m² by the end of 2026, with the construction of four new buildings.
