About
Microbot Medical is a medical robotics company focused on transforming interventional procedures through its flagship product, the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System. LIBERTY® is the first single-use, remotely operated endovascular robotic system, engineered to deliver smooth, responsive peripheral navigation with the precise control physicians need during complex vascular procedures. The system empowers physicians to perform procedures from a seated, remote position — reducing radiation exposure and physical strain while maintaining full procedural responsiveness. Its single-use design eliminates reprocessing costs and infection risks associated with reusable robotic systems, making robotic technology more accessible to a wider range of hospitals and clinics. LIBERTY® was purpose-built to integrate seamlessly into existing catheterization lab workflows, minimizing disruption to staffing, budgets, and scheduling. By lowering the operational and financial barriers to robotic adoption, Microbot Medical aims to help healthcare facilities of all sizes offer consistent, high-quality endovascular care. The platform also supports broader patient access by enabling facilities that previously lacked robotic infrastructure to adopt advanced interventional technology. Backed by clinical evidence and endorsed by leading physicians including faculty at Yale Medical Center, LIBERTY® represents a significant step forward in the future of vascular intervention.
Key Features
- Remote Operation: Physicians can perform endovascular procedures from a seated, remote position, reducing radiation exposure and physical fatigue while maintaining full procedural control.
- Single-Use Design: The disposable architecture eliminates reprocessing requirements and associated costs, reducing infection risk and simplifying hospital logistics.
- Seamless Workflow Integration: LIBERTY® is designed to integrate into existing cath lab environments without significant changes to staffing, scheduling, or capital infrastructure.
- Precise Peripheral Navigation: Delivers smooth, responsive control for peripheral vascular navigation, enabling accurate catheter placement during complex endovascular interventions.
- Broader Patient Access: Lowers the barriers to robotic adoption so more facilities — and ultimately more patients — can benefit from high-quality robotic-assisted care.
Use Cases
- Performing peripheral vascular interventions remotely to reduce physician radiation exposure in high-volume catheterization labs.
- Enabling community hospitals and smaller facilities to adopt robotic endovascular technology without major capital or staffing investments.
- Extending consistent, high-quality interventional care to underserved patient populations by lowering the cost and complexity of robotic adoption.
- Improving procedural precision and consistency during complex peripheral navigation cases through robotically-assisted catheter control.
- Reducing occupational health risks for interventional cardiologists and radiologists through seated, remote procedure execution.
Pros
- First Single-Use Endovascular Robot: LIBERTY® is the only single-use, remotely operated endovascular robotic system on the market, offering a unique safety and cost profile versus reusable alternatives.
- Physician Safety and Comfort: Remote, seated operation significantly reduces occupational radiation exposure and ergonomic strain for interventional physicians over the course of a career.
- Low Adoption Barriers: Designed specifically to minimize the financial, staffing, and operational hurdles that have historically slowed robotic adoption in hospital settings.
Cons
- Ongoing Per-Procedure Cost: The single-use design, while clinically beneficial, means consumable costs accrue with each procedure rather than a one-time capital investment in reusable hardware.
- Specialized Use Case: LIBERTY® is purpose-built for peripheral endovascular procedures and is not a general-purpose surgical robot, limiting its applicability across broader surgical specialties.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System?
LIBERTY® is the first single-use, remotely operated endovascular robotic system developed by Microbot Medical. It enables physicians to perform peripheral vascular procedures from a remote, seated position with precise navigational control.
How does LIBERTY® benefit physicians?
LIBERTY® allows physicians to operate from a shielded, seated position away from the X-ray source, reducing radiation exposure and physical strain associated with traditional interventional procedures performed in full lead aprons at tableside.
What types of procedures can LIBERTY® be used for?
LIBERTY® is designed for peripheral endovascular procedures, providing smooth catheter navigation within peripheral vascular anatomy. Specific clinical indications are supported by clinical evidence available on the Microbot Medical website.
How does LIBERTY® integrate into existing hospital workflows?
LIBERTY® is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing catheterization lab environments, requiring minimal changes to workflow, staffing, or infrastructure, making adoption practical for a wide range of facilities.
How can I schedule a demonstration of LIBERTY®?
You can request a demo directly through the Microbot Medical website at microbotmedical.com. A representative will coordinate a test drive of the LIBERTY® system at your facility or at a designated demonstration site.
