The
NewFund investment fund has just invested 27% of capital in the French company
MedTech.
MedTech is developing a
neurosurgery robot named
Rosa.
According to the Midi Libre newspaper and the CEO of MedTech,
Bertin Nahum, the robot "makes surgical procedures safe and reliable, whilst allowing less evasive surgical procedures to be carried out." »
MedTech was created in 2002 and has developed Brigit, an assistant robot in orthopedic surgery. In 2006, the patents were sold to the American
Zimmer.
Over time, the robotics startup has devoted itself to Rosa.
Seven hospitals in Europe are equipped with them. The next installations are intended in Cleveland in the USA and in Sherbrooke in Quebec (Canada).
In order to accelerate its development in North America, MedTech has just opened offices in Montreal, Canada.
