About Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson operates across medicines and medical technologies, including surgical instruments, digital systems and robotic-assisted surgery. OTTAVA is its table-integrated soft-tissue robotic system, combining four robotic arms within the operating table with a surgeon console, vision system and instruments developed for minimally invasive procedures.
In July 2026, the US Food and Drug Administration granted De Novo marketing authorisation for multiple upper-abdominal general-surgery procedures. Johnson & Johnson plans a staged commercial launch with selected US customers while extending indications and regulatory coverage; an additional US clinical trial covers inguinal hernia procedures.
