Background

Memic is seeking USD60m on a most recent pre-money valuation of USD150m, with proceeds to be applied to sales & marketing, R&D/ IP, clinical development & regulatory, manufacturing scale up and general costs

Memic has set out to transform robot-assisted surgery, with proprietary technology that has the potential to far surpasses today’s best solutions. This has been delivered by Memic’s Hominis™ which can provide unprecedented access and manoeuvrability. Its surgical platform features miniature, humanoid-shaped robotic arms with human dexterity, superhuman flexibility, and 360˚ articulation for various access configurations. It is dramatically smaller, more versatile and less costly than current robotic platforms and the technology opens up a host of minimally-invasive procedures that until now have been off-limits to robot-assisted surgery.

Some pipeline indications include abdominal single and multi-port surgery, as well as procedures performed in a trans-oral approach. Memic envisions a near future where numerous indications – and millions of patients – will benefit from these disruptive capabilities.
