OQrimo — the first clinically approved ophthalmic endoscope-holding robot (Japan, 2023), a robotic 'third hand' for the surgeon.

About

A university-origin Japanese venture commercialising OQrimo, the world's first approved robotic endoscope holder for ophthalmic surgery. It stabilises and pivots an intraocular endoscope (gimballed, foot-pedal controlled, automatic safety withdrawal), freeing the surgeon's second hand — it is used for pars plana trocar placement and complex vitreoretinal surgery. Built on the Eye Explorer research robot (Kyushu University).
