Reusable instruments for the next generation of robotic surgery

The SATA Robotic Instrument

Sustainable

Engineered for full reusability, reducing environmental impact.

Tip articulation and rotation

Four degrees of freedom provide enhanced precision by controlled articulation, rotation, opening and closing of the tip, and rotation of the instrument.

Cost-efficient

Engineered for full reusability, enabling use of the instrument over and over again, reducing the costs of robotic surgery significantly.

This is a prototype currently in development.

Breaking down the barriers

Articulating instruments in robotic surgery enhance precision and add value to surgical procedures. However, disposables drive up costs and create excessive waste, significantly impacting the environment.

SATA instruments are the first robotic instruments with full reusability. Therewith breaking down the cost-barriers and sustainability issues that now limit the adoption of advanced robotic surgical systems in the Operating Room.

Join us

SATA Medical partners with robotic platform developers to help bring sustainable, cost-efficient robotic systems to the operating room. By integrating our reusable, articulating instrument technology into robotic platforms, we support the development of scalable robotic solutions that reduce per-procedure costs and environmental impact. Together, we aim to make robotic surgery more accessible and sustainable.
