CMR Surgical - Versius surgical robotic system

A next generation surgical robotic system that reduces surgeon fatigue

a groundbreaking new system

making robotically assisted surgery more accesible, accurate and affordable

the brief

From the outset of the project, CMR Surgical sought to create a robotic system that would better suit the needs of surgeons and health centres. CMR approached Lamb Industries for an industrial design for Versius, they wanted a design that communicated the innovative and compact nature of the device and created a distinctive CMR identity.

the design

Versius is a next generation surgical robotic system, offering benefits to patients, surgeons and hospitals.

Until now size and cost have limited widespread uptake of robotically assisted surgery. Compact and portable, Versius has a modular design that allows individual arms to be moved easily around the operating room, between suites or even hospital floors, maximising usage. Its ergonomic design potentially reduces surgeon strain and facilitates open communication within the surgical team.

The flowing organic form accentuates the slim profile of the arms and offers natural grip points to the surgical team.

Versius’ design has won two independent awards, the 2021 iF Design Award and the IDSA 2021 Bronze IDEA Award.
