XCath Robotics
XCath Robotics is a Houston-based medical robotics company building next-generation endovascular robotic systems and steerable smart guidewires to treat stroke, brain aneurysms and other neurovascular conditions. Its flagship Iris system is the only endovascular robot in development capable of intracranial navigation, and the company is racing toward a clinical telerobot that could let a specialist perform a brain-clot removal on a patient hundreds of miles away.
Sovato
Sovato is a Santa Barbara health-tech company building the first comprehensive, system-agnostic platform for remote robotic surgery and procedures - what the industry calls telesurgery. Co-founded by surgical-robotics pioneer Yulun Wang and healthcare strategist Cynthia Perazzo, Sovato lets a skilled surgeon operate a robotic system from hundreds or thousands of miles away, aiming to extend top surgical care to patients regardless of where they live. The company has raised $41M across its rounds and helped enable the longest-distance telesurgery ever completed.
