Galen Robotics is focused on advancing surgical assistance technologies, particularly in the fields of microsurgery, digital surgery, and robotic surgery. The company has developed a cooperative surgical assist device designed to enhance the precision of surgical maneuvers through human-machine collaboration. This platform aims to address unmet needs in various surgical specialties, including neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and spine surgery. By integrating with standard surgical instruments, the Galen platform improves stability and ergonomics, making it particularly beneficial for narrow corridor and minimally invasive procedures. The company is actively pursuing FDA clearance for its platform, which it plans to offer as a service, thereby democratizing access to advanced surgical techniques.

Founded in 2016, Galen Robotics emerged from research conducted at Johns Hopkins University, where the Robotic ENT Microsurgical System (REMS) was developed to enhance surgical ergonomics and tool stability. The company collaborates closely with academic institutions to explore future applications of its technology. Galen Robotics has received recognition for its contributions to medical robotic equipment manufacturing, including being named 'Best of Baltimore' in this category for two consecutive years. The company continues to innovate in the surgical robotics space, aiming to improve surgical outcomes and expand the capabilities of surgeons in various medical fields.

Galen Robotics is developing a single-platform solution to aid surgeons across several disciplines with minimal disturbance to existing workflows. Our cooperative control paradigm aims to eliminate hand tremor and enable surgeons to realize precise minimally invasive interventions in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and tissue reconstruction that were previously considered beyond human capacity.
