- VirtaMed brought medical simulation expertise while EndoQuest contributed the robotic procedure workflow and platform context.
- The announcement supports training infrastructure around the robot, not a separate commercial robot launch.
Company context
EndoQuest Robotics develops a flexible endoluminal surgical robot for procedures performed through the body’s natural orifices. Founded in Houston as ColubrisMX and rebranded in 2022, the company combines steerable endoscopy with robotic instrument control for upper and lower gastrointestinal interventions. Its investigational ELS System is intended to enable precise, scar-free surgery without external incisions.
