Ganymed Robotics raises EUR 21M for global expansion
Ganymed Robotics, a developer of computer vision software and robotics technologies for orthopaedic surgeons, has raised EUR 21 million in the first close of its Series B funding. The round was led by Cathay Health, with the participation of Credit Mutuel Innovation, Kurma Partners, BNP Paribas Dévelopement and others.
The funding will be used to support Ganymed’s international expansion, finalise the industrial development of its surgical robotic assistant for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), accelerate regulatory and marketing developments and diversify the innovation product pipeline.
Since its inception in 2018, Ganymed Robotics has experienced rapid growth. In collaboration with world-class clinicians, it has validated its proprietary algorithms and collected unique in vivo data via a 100-patient observational study. Moreover, the start-up successfully completed functional prototype tests, initiated the industrialisation of its first device dedicated to TKA through strategic partnerships with manufacturers and secured a robust patent portfolio.
The support of this high-profile group of investors, specialised in innovation and healthcare, is a strong endorsement of the work accomplished and our vision for the future of orthopaedic surgery. We are eager to enter this new phase of growth. With our unique robot-with-eyes platform, we are committed to providing all surgeons and care centres, large and small, with an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution that will radically improve patient outcome, surgeon experience and overall efficiency of joint replacement interventions.
Sophie Cahen, co-founder and CEO of Ganymed Robotics
Ganymed Robotics’ patented technology platform transforms how orthopaedic surgeons perform in the operating room, thanks to its combination of advanced computer vision and mechatronics. The first application is a co-manipulated surgical robotic assistant for TKA. Ganymed’s device is the first compact and intuitive robot, fully integrated into the workflow, that simplifies and increases the accuracy of orthopaedics.
We have been impressed by Ganymed’s next-generation technology. We are looking forward to working alongside such a talented team and contribute to making orthopaedic surgery safer, more accessible, more surgeon-centric and ultimately more efficient for all.
