CMR Surgical Versius Plus Review: Features, Approvals and Uses of the Modular Surgical Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
CMR Surgical Versius Plus is a modular robotic system for minimal access soft-tissue surgery. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Versius Plus is built around modularity: compact units move between operating rooms, so hospitals do not need a dedicated robotic theatre and can switch between robotic and conventional cases in the same room. Surgeons choose port placement to suit the patient. Fully articulated instruments, a 26-inch 3DHD screen with automatic brightness and integrated vLimeLite fluorescence imaging support the procedure, while Versius Connect and Versius Team track cases and utilisation. CMR reports more than 45,000 cases worldwide. In the US it is 510(k) cleared only for cholecystectomy in adults 22 and older, with a gynecology submission pending. Arm count, dimensions and console specifications are not stated on the page.
