Stryker to buy CMR Surgical's Versius robot for $400 million
Original: Stryker dives into soft-tissue robotics with $400M play for CMR Surgical’s Versius
Medical device maker Stryker has agreed to pay $400 million for CMR Surgical's Versius soft-tissue robotic surgery system, moving the company deeper into surgical robotics. The deal hands Stryker a flexible robotic platform used in minimally invasive procedures, and industry watchers see it as a challenge to Intuitive Surgical's dominance in soft-tissue robotics and part of a broader consolidation wave among surgical robotics makers.
Why now: A major medtech acquisition signals Stryker's aggressive expansion into the fast-growing surgical robotics market.
