Nami Surgical present progress at Ultrasurge 2023

Press Release

Nami Surgical was delighted to be invited to provide an update at the Ultrasurge Annual Meeting, held at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Nami Surgical was spun out of the Ultrasurge programme, a five-year research programme investigating the use of ultrasound in surgery. Supported by more than £6 million in programme grant funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Ultrasurge brings together a number of interrelated research themes, including understanding the effects of ultrasound on tissue, the miniaturisation of ultrasound transducers, and the use of external robotic systems to guide ultrasound-enabled robotic devices to surgical sites within the body.

The Annual Meeting brought together members of the ultrasound, engineering and medical communities, and provided Nami Surgical with an opportunity to share its journey from academic research to the development of real-world surgical technology.

It was particularly valuable to engage with PhD students, researchers, clinicians and academics and to offer an industry perspective on how innovative research can be translated into technologies with the potential to address unmet clinical needs.

There remains a significant clinical need for smaller, safer and more manoeuvrable ultrasonic surgical devices. By addressing the limitations of existing technologies, innovations in this area have the potential to expand the capabilities of robotic surgery and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes.

Nami Surgical was pleased to return to the programme from which the company originated and share the progress being made towards translating pioneering ultrasound research into surgical technology..
