Olympus and Partner Launch Swan EndoSurgical

Olympus and Partner Launch Swan EndoSurgical

TOKYO—Olympus Corporation recently announced an agreement with Revival Healthcare Capital to drive advancements in endoluminal robotics. Olympus and Revival will co-found Swan EndoSurgical, a new company dedicated to developing a novel robotic system designed to revolutionize gastrointestinal patient care in the future.

Endoluminal robotics aims to empower more physicians to safely perform innovative techniques, enhancing patient access to treatment options that support safety and improved recovery times. This advancement has the potential to create new and significantly enhanced minimally invasive treatment options for major unmet medical needs by boosting precision and efficiency in procedures addressing ergonomic strain for healthcare professionals.

Bob White, president and CEO at Olympus, said, “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our strategic initiative to advance endoluminal robotics. We are excited to enter this collaboration that we expect to play a pivotal role in reshaping the GI market by expanding procedural capabilities for physicians. This will allow the delivery of transformative, organ-sparing care that enhances outcomes for a broad patient population.”

For decades, endoscopy has yielded early and accurate diagnoses of conditions such as GI tract cancer. In recent years, specialists, primarily gastroenterologists, have begun performing endoscopic therapeutic procedures, such as cancer resection, by inserting instruments through the endoscope. However, manual endoscopes and their instruments have limitations that make many advanced procedures within the lumen of the GI tract challenging and not widely available globally.

The development of an endoluminal robot, with its ability to easily maneuver within the GI tract and deploy flexible arms, provides the opportunity for more patients to benefit from safe and effective procedures, potentially avoiding invasive surgery. This innovation allows for the early, safe, and effective treatment of lesions or tumors in the GI tract relative to current therapeutic options. Furthermore, the technology has the potential for application in numerous other disease areas.

Headquartered in the United States, Swan EndoSurgical has assembled a leadership team of highly experienced industry professionals who will drive technical, clinical, and commercial development of the robotic platform. Swan is focused on the development of endoluminal surgical robotics with the aim to create effective treatment of lesions or tumors in the GI tract relative to current therapeutic options.
