Wow, terrific news for Medtronic! Sean Whooley is at it again. MassDevice article in the comments. #surgicalrobotics #medicaldevice #medtech
This clearance is a strategic milestone. Soft-tissue robotics has been dominated by a single player for years, and meaningful competition only happens once platforms prove value across multiple indications. If Medtronic can pair reliable performance with scalable economics, the ripple effects across hospitals, surgeons, and training pathways could be significant. Worth watching closely.
Big moment for Medtronic. Hugo getting cleared for urologic procedures is more than an expansion — it’s validation that the platform is finally gaining clinical traction in the U.S. Robotics only becomes meaningful when it proves reliable across multiple specialties. If Hugo can deliver consistent workflow, predictable ergonomics, and reproducible outcomes in urology, it opens the door for broader adoption.
Great news! Congrats to the team that made it happen!
That’s awesome. Congratulations - it’s been a long time coming!
