Core offering

AKTORmed develops and manufactures robotic assistance systems for minimally invasive surgery, with its core products being the SOLOASSIST II and SOLOASSIST IIS robotic camera control systems that attach to operating tables to enable surgeons to precisely position and control the laparoscopic camera. The portfolio is complemented by the ENDOFIX exo manual support arm, with multiple control interface options (joystick, remote, voice) for hands-free operation. The systems are sold to hospitals and surgical clinics for use in laparoscopic procedures.

Product overview

AKTORmed offers a portfolio of robotic assistance systems for minimally invasive surgery, centered on two product lines: SOLOASSIST II and SOLOASSIST IIS for robotic camera control, complemented by ENDOFIX exo as a manual support arm. The SOLOASSIST systems are designed to provide surgeons with steady, precise camera guidance during procedures, reducing physical strain and improving visualization. Control options for the SOLOASSIST include Joystick, Remote Control, and Voice Control modules, providing flexibility in how surgeons interact with the robotic camera systems. The products are positioned as solutions that benefit patients through less pain and faster recovery, clinics through better scheduling efficiency, and surgeons through steady imaging and better vision. AKTORmed has two decades of innovation in the robotic surgery assistance space.

Broad incumbents

• Medtronic: Global medtech with the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. Comparable as a large incumbent entering surgical robotics with bundled camera and instrumentation capabilities that compete with AKTORmed's specialized offerings.
• Stryker: Major medical device company with the Mako robotic surgery platform for orthopedics and a broad surgical visualization portfolio. Comparable as a competitor in surgical robotics with integrated camera and instrumentation capabilities.
• Intuitive Surgical: Developer of the da Vinci surgical system, the dominant robotic-assisted surgery platform. While offering a much broader robotic surgery solution, Intuitive's integrated camera/vision system directly competes with AKTORmed's standalone SOLOASSIST positioning technology.
• Johnson & Johnson (MedTech): Through its Ottava robotic surgery platform and prior acquisitions, J&J MedTech competes in the broader surgical robotics space where bundled camera control functionality is increasingly integrated.
• B. Braun (Aesculap): German-based global medical device company whose Aesculap division manufactures surgical instruments, endoscopic equipment, and camera positioning systems for MIS. Comparable as a German incumbent with overlapping surgical visualization and instrumentation portfolio.

Emerging players

• Moon Surgical: Emerging surgical robotics company developing systems to assist surgeons in laparoscopic procedures. Directly comparable as a peer targeting the same MIS robotics segment with potential overlap in camera and instrument assistance.
• Asensus Surgical: Developer of the Senhance robotic-assisted surgery platform with digital laparoscopy features. Comparable as a smaller, focused competitor in robotic and digital surgical assistance for laparoscopic MIS.
• EndoQuest Robotics: Developer of a flexible robotic-assisted endoscopic surgery platform. Comparable as an emerging peer in robotic-assisted MIS with overlapping use cases in endoscopy and laparoscopic procedures.

Direct peers

• Karl Storz: German-based leader in endoscopy and surgical visualization systems, including camera holders, light sources, and laparoscopic instrumentation. Highly comparable given shared German heritage, MIS focus, and overlapping surgical visualization product lines.
• Olympus: Major manufacturer of endoscopic systems, surgical cameras, and laparoscopic equipment used in MIS. Competes with AKTORmed in the broader OR visualization and camera ecosystem.
