MIRA Surgical System

DESCRIPTION

MIRA Surgical System is a Medical-Robots from Virtual Incision. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Surgery, Colectomy. Key figures: 0.9 kg, released 2024.

The MIRA Surgical System is Virtual Incision's miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery (miniRAS) platform, which the company describes as the world's first. Instead of a large mainframe robot that needs its own operating room, MIRA's 'minibot' weighs about 2 lb (under 1 kg), arrives already sterilized in a compact tray and is inserted into the abdomen through a single port, with no draping or docking. Its instrument arms and integrated camera perform complex movements under the surgeon's control and give multi-quadrant access anywhere in the abdomen, and the robot can be mounted to any standard operating table and moved from room to room in minutes. A portable companion cart stages the system and needs only two cables - one for the camera and one for the minibot. The surgeon sits upright at an open console, close to the patient and with a view of the staff and room, using familiar hand controls and foot pedals, while a touch-screen display shows MIRA's 3D orientation. The FDA granted MIRA De Novo marketing authorization in February 2024 for mobilization of the colon in adult colectomy, based on the company's IDE clinical study, and in August 2026 cleared it through a 510(k) for benign (sub-)total hysterectomy; MIRA is commercially available in the US for colectomy, with further indications to follow. It is intended for prescription use by trained surgeons in adults at least 5 ft (1.52 m) tall and weighing at least 100 lb (45 kg).
