ViRobTM technology is a revolutionary autonomous crawling micro-robot which can be controlled remotely or within the
body. Its miniature dimensions allow it to navigate and crawl in different spaces within the human body, including blood vessels,
the digestive tract and the respiratory system. Its unique structure gives it the ability to move in tight spaces and curved passages
as well as the ability to remain within the human body for prolonged time. To learn more about ViRobTM please visit
is a transformational self-propelled, flexible, and semi-disposable locomotive device providing see & treat capabilities
within tubular lumens in the human body such as the colon, blood vessels, and the urinary tract. Its locomotion mechanism is perfectly
suitable to navigate and crawl through natural & artificial tubular lumens, applying the minimal necessary pressure to achieve
the adequate friction required for gentle, fast, and safe advancement within the human body. To learn more about TipCATTM,
technology contemplates a unique combination of a guidewire and microcatheter, technologies that are broadly used for endoluminal
surgery. The CardioSertTM technology features unique steering and stiffness control capabilities, and it was originally
developed to support interventional cardiologists in crossing the most complex lesions called chronic total occlusion (CTO) during
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and has the potential to be used in other spaces and applications, such as
peripheral intervention, neurosurgery and urology. CardioSertTM was part of a technological incubator supported by
the Israel Innovation Authorities (formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS), and its device has successfully
completed pre-clinical testing.
