Vicarious Surgical Inc. (“Vicarious Surgical” or the “Company”)
(NYSE: RBOT, RBOT WS), a next-generation robotics technology
company seeking to improve lives by transforming robotic surgery,
today announced that it has signed a strategic development
agreement with the LSU Health New Orleans.
LSU Health New Orleans is Louisiana’s flagship and most
comprehensive academic health sciences center. Known for the
quality of its academic and training programs, the center educates
the majority of Louisiana’s health care professionals. LSU Health
New Orleans partners with University Medical Center (UMC), which
hosts the largest medical training center in Louisiana. At the
heart of UMC's operations is a network of over 760 physicians,
supported by 446 licensed inpatient beds, 369 exam rooms, and 23
state-of-the-art surgical suites. UMC treats more than 200,000
patients annually across primary and specialty care. Across the
broader LSU Health New Orleans system, faculty are responsible for
more than 1 million patient visits annually.
Through the agreement, Vicarious Surgical will gain access to
the LSU Health New Orleans network and collaborate directly with
its team of experienced robotic surgeons and supporting staff. The
partnership will leverage LSU Health New Orleans’s extensive
surgeon training expertise to validate training protocols and
identify expected drivers of surgeon adoption. The partnership also
offers Vicarious Surgical the opportunity to collaborate on
formative studies investigating the clinical and economic value
proposition of the Company’s V1.0 system. LSU Health New Orleans’s
profile as a regional care provider with an academic emphasis
differentiates the partnership and offers Vicarious Surgical the
opportunity to better understand the dynamics driving adoption in
these settings.
“We’re thrilled to partner with LSU Health New Orleans as we
tailor our system development and commercial launch strategies to
meet the needs of individual care networks,” said Adam Sachs, CEO
and Co-Founder, Vicarious Surgical. “As a regional provider with a
prominent academic arm, LSU Health New Orleans offers unique
insight into the administrative and clinical protocols associated
with regional care centers of a similar profile. At the same time,
their emphasis on physician training, involving learners at all
levels, represents a meaningful opportunity for our team to
collaborate with the next generation of surgeons and gain insight
into the drivers of future system adoption.”
“As a network of providers dedicated to educating and mentoring
the next generation of healthcare professionals, we are always
looking at ways to improve the current standard of care,” said Dr.
Michael Cook, Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at LSU Health
New Orleans. “Soft-tissue robotic surgery is an area of focus
within our organization, and the differentiated value proposition
supporting Vicarious’ single-port approach represents a meaningful
step towards better care for patients. We look forward to working
with the entire Vicarious Surgical team to further our joint
mission of improving patient lives.”
