The Prosurgics business started life in 1996, then named Armstrong Healthcare. The company was founded following the completion of an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) feasibility study into possible applications for robotics in medicine and healthcare; this identified over 400 possible applications for robotics in medicine. Armstrong quickly focused down to the specific area of surgical robotics, and over the following decade developed a portfolio of technologies, and two 1st generation products in this field: EndoAssist, a laparoscopic camera controller; and Pathfinder Neuro, the image-guided positioner for stereotactic neurosurgery. Armstrong changed its name to Prosurgics in September 2006 to reflect the positive evolution of the company as it augmented its strong technological foundations to become a truly customer focused and commercially led business.
Prosurgics today is an ambitious, commercially led international company. With directly managed sales teams in the major medical device markets of the USA, Germany and the UK, and a growing network of expert distributors around the world The Company today is focused on the rapid commercialisation of its groundbreaking FreeHand system for laparoscopic surgery. This first product in Prosurgics' next generation of affordable robotics has won international acclaim and awards including the USA's Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons "Innovation of the Year, 2008", and a rapidly growing international community of "FreeHand Surgeons".
