Horizon Surgical Systems raises Series A toward robotic eye procedures [Video]

Horizon Surgical Systems Inc., which is advancing microsurgery with artificial intelligence-enabled robotics, this week announced that it has closed a $30 million Series A round. The privately held, micro-robotics company said it plans to use the funding to continue developing its technology platform, progress to in-human studies, and further build out its team.

“Both our team and investors recognize that our Polaris system is poised to capitalize on the next era in surgical robotics, enhancing the surgeon’s natural capabilities with state-of-the-art augmented visualization and precision robotic control,” stated Jean-Pierre Hubschman, M.D., founder and CEO of Horizon.

“As artificial intelligence continues to advance surgical robotics, I believe it will unlock unprecedented surgical assistance capabilities within the Polaris platform, driving unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and outcomes in the operating room,” he added.
