This is the second of two new agreements with two hospitals in Europe thus far in 2021, as previously announced in our May 11, 2021 news release.

"Inselspital University Hospital in Bern is the largest University hospital group in Switzerland," Anthony Fernando, Asensus Surgical President and CEO, says. "We are very pleased they have started surgery with Senhance this week.'' The University department of visceral surgery – Abdominal Center Inselspital - (upper gastrointestinal and bariatric) department is implementing the digital Senhance platform in their daily surgical practice and will study its clinical utility over the coming months.

Senhance goes beyond the typical surgical robotic systems, providing surgical assurance through haptic feedback, Eye-tracking camera control, and 3D visualization, and is the first platform to offer 3 mm instruments (the smallest instrument available in the world on a robotic surgical platform).
