Microsurgery is characterized by performing surgery close to the limits of what is physically possible. It has designed a motion stabilizer system, which is designed by and for microsurgeons who want to overcome their physical limitations and enhance their performance. The Microsure motion stabilizer system has improved the quality of microsurgicalprocedures and makes it easier to perform, with the objective to increase the number of treatment options for patients.The extraordinary control and precision offered by the Microsure motion stabilizer provides better and more constant surgical outcome and allows the development of new highly accurate surgical procedures that are currently unavailable. The Microsure system has already been successfully used in a first clinical trial with 8 micro-surgical operations for lymphedema in the Maastricht UMC+. With our investment, Microsure will accelerate the market introduction and sales of its systems.Microsure was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. | $40.6M / Series B / Sep 19, 2023 | |
