Headquartered in Cambridge, England, CMR is developing the next-generation universal robotic system for minimal access (or "keyhole") surgery. The company's vision is to make minimal access surgery universally accessible and affordable by expanding the range of procedures that can be performed robotically. The CMR robotic arm and end-of-arm surgical instruments provide significantly enhanced flexibility, mimicking the dexterity of the surgeon's hands. This lifelike sensitivity and usability has been lacking in surgical robotic systems currently on the market.
Following the successful start of clinical cadaveric trials in June 2016, investment proceeds will enable CMR to continue on its path toward becoming a global medical device manufacturer. Specifically, the proceeds will be used to advance development and commercialization of its medical robotic technology, and to expand the team in preparation for regulatory approval.
"As CMR prepares for its next phase of development, the company will benefit enormously from this strong and diverse investor group that includes a leading global player in the robotics field (ABB), and some of the best known institutional investors in Europe," said Victor Garcia, Managing Director at Mooreland.
