Join Us in Empowering Access to Robotic Surgery
At Distalmotion, we believe patients deserve best-in-class minimally invasive care. Our mission is to empower access to the benefits of robotic surgery. The DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System uniquely simplifies operations so more surgeons, in more ORs, can provide the benefits of robotics to more patients.
Whether in hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), or traditional operating rooms, we are enabling more healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care by offering surgeons the choice to provide the best treatments to their patients.
We are a global MedTech company driven by Excellence, Thinking Big, a Can-Do mindset, Care, and Trust. These values guide our work as we develop solutions that remove barriers to robotic surgery access.
