# Avail Medical Products

> Avail Medsystems built a purpose-made telepresence network for operating rooms: mobile consoles with remotely controlled cameras, surgical-imaging inputs, secure audio and collaboration software. Hospitals received the hardware without a capital purchase while medical-device companies and other members paid for access and usage. The company raised about $126.6 million, reached hundreds of console placements and agreements covering roughly 1,100 U.S. facilities, but shut down in November 2023 after failing to close another funding round. Mendaera acquired substantially all of its assets in 2024 and hired some former employees.
