What larc robotics does

LARC Robotics LLC is a privately held medical device company headquartered at 535 5th Ave 4th floor in New York, NY, that develops the LARC Robot, a table-mounted miniature surgical robotic platform designed specifically for image-guided renal access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures used to treat kidney stones. The platform combines intraoperative planning, real-time imaging targeting, and robotic-assisted needle insertion, and is CE-marked and FDA-cleared for both 2D and 3D image-guided procedures. Its primary value proposition is enabling urologists to perform renal access independently without reliance on interventional radiologists, addressing technical complexity, operative time, radiation exposure, and scheduling dependencies that the company cites as the main drivers of PCNL's roughly 7% adoption rate among kidney stone procedures.

The company is a spin-off of Austria-based Interventional Systems and operates as part of the iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH group, inheriting domain expertise and product know-how in interventional radiology. Its commercial model is a direct-sales approach to hospitals and healthcare facilities performing urology procedures, consistent with enterprise capital-equipment procurement; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumed to be quote-based. GTM channels are predominantly clinical-scientific in nature, including LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube (surgical session and conference content), email newsletters, and industry-conference presentations such as LSI Europe 2024.

The product roadmap extends the single hardware product with planned 2D-fluoroscopic navigation and ultrasound guidance support, a digital platform for patient-specific 3D reconstructions of diagnostic scans, and a post-procedural data and analytics module. The company is GDPR-compliant, maintains a small public footprint, and has no disclosed revenue, headcount, funding rounds, or named hospital customers in the source material.

Core offering

LARC Robotics develops the LARC Robot, a CE-marked and FDA-cleared table-mounted miniature surgical robotic device designed for image-guided renal access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures. The platform combines intraoperative planning, real-time imaging targeting, and precise robotic-assisted needle insertion to allow urologists to independently establish renal access for kidney stone removal without relying on interventional radiologists. The technology is cleared for both 2D and 3D image-guided procedures.

Product overview

LARC Robotics offers a single unified surgical robotic platform called the LARC Robot, designed specifically for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures to treat kidney stones. The platform is a table-mounted miniature device that provides intraoperative planning, real-time imaging targeting, and precise robotic-assisted needle insertion. The company is also developing future capabilities including 2D-fluoro navigation and ultrasound guidance support, a digital platform for patient-specific 3D reconstructions, and a data and analytics module for post-procedural analysis.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• PROCEPT BioRobotics: Urology-focused robotic surgery company (Aquablation) targeting BPH and expanding across urological indications. Most directly comparable in being a surgical robotics company selling capital equipment to urology departments at hospitals.
• CMR Surgical: Developer of the Versius surgical robotic system, a modular, multi-port platform marketed to hospitals including for urology. Direct peer as a general-purpose surgical robotics company competing for the same hospital capital budgets.
• Avatera Medical: European surgical robotics company specifically targeting urology and laparoscopic procedures. Direct peer in single-specialty robotic surgery for urology hospitals.

Broad incumbents

• Intuitive Surgical: Incumbent da Vinci surgical robotics platform used across urology (including kidney and PCNL procedures). Broad incumbent with overlapping capability and the installed base against which single-indication entrants must compete.
• Medtronic: Hugo RAS robotic-assisted surgery platform extends Medtronic's broad medtech portfolio into surgical robotics, including urology. Broad incumbent with overlapping urology access.
• Stryker: Mako robotic surgery platform and large installed base in orthopedics, with adjacent surgical robotics efforts relevant to capital equipment procurement decisions LARC faces at hospitals.

Emerging players

• Moon Surgical: Emerging surgical robotics company building a table-side, AI-assisted robotic platform for laparoscopic surgery. Comparable emerging player in surgical robotics targeting hospital OR workflows.
• Renishaw: Medical robotics business focused on neurosurgical and implantable device applications, sharing the heritage of a precision-engineering company entering surgical robotics as an adjacent category.

Others

• Karl Storz: Long-established endoscopy and urology instrumentation company supplying PCNL and ureteroscopy equipment to the same hospital urology departments LARC targets. Adjacent competitor on the buying-committee level, though not a robotic platform.
• Richard Wolf: Specialist urology/surgical equipment maker with a strong installed base in PCNL and endourology instruments. Adjacent equipment competitor and ecosystem participant in the same hospital urology suites.
