B. Braun subsidiary Aesculap has solidified its long-term partnership with California-based True Digital Surgery, an expert in robotic digital 3D visualization, by signing a new distribution agreement. Aesculap thus secures long-term and exclusive distribution rights for the jointly developed digital surgical microscope. The agreement was concluded between the two companies.
“We are thus adding a disruptive innovation to our range of services in our core business areas. At the same time, this is an important milestone in our transformation into a technology company.”
-Dr. Jens von Lackum, CEO
The first systems for neuro and spine surgery have already been successfully introduced in some operating rooms in the U.S. and Europe. Approval for the Chinese market was achieved in early 2022. The new agreement will allow additional countries to follow.
In June 2020, B. Braun launched Aesculap Aeos, the world’s first and so far only fully digital robotics-assisted surgical microscope, which also enables visualization of tumors and blood flow using fluorescence technology.
