Virtual Incision

Series C in 2021
Virtual Incision is the pioneer of in vivo mini-robot surgery, enabling minimally-invasive colon resection and other abdominal procedures.

Two-thirds of these procedures are still performed open, requiring a long, gruesome incision. VIC’s simpler/easier/cheaper approach is to insert a mini-robot into the insufflated abdomen via a small umbilical incision, after which the highly-dextrous robot arms are freely manipulated at the nearby surgeon console. VIC enables MIS colectomy using well-known laparoscopic tools, onboard vision, and leading multi-quadrant capabilities. After 70+ pig labs and with 60+ patents/applications, VIC is seeking a $15M Series B financing to achieve First-in-Man and prepare for CE Mark and FDA 510(k) submissions.
