Overview

Medtech SA developed ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant), a robotic surgery platform with six degrees of freedom and haptic feedback, originally designed for neurosurgery and subsequently expanded to orthopedic applications. The ROSA platform is available in specialized configurations for brain, spine, knee, hip, and partial knee procedures, all sharing the same base robot arm with force-torque sensor technology. Medtech SA was founded in 2002 in Montpellier, France and was acquired by Zimmer Biomet in 2016.
