Overview
The Medtronic Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system is a modular, multi-quadrant soft-tissue robotic surgery platform designed to bring the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery to a wide range of minimally invasive procedures. It features a flexible, open console that allows the surgeon to sit comfortably with ergonomic support, separate modular patient carts with four independent arms, and a 3D high-definition vision system. The system is designed for hospitals seeking a scalable and cost-effective solution for robotic surgery, with compatibility with existing laparoscopic instruments and a focus on clinical versatility across urology, gynecology, and general surgery applications. It received CE mark in 2021 and is currently available in select global markets, with ongoing clinical trials and regulatory submissions for FDA clearance in the United States.
