Memic Innovative Surgery Ltd., a medical device company that develops surgical robotic technology, announced Thursday that HCA Florida Healthcare's Kendall Regional Medical Center, AdventHealth Celebration and The Women's Hospital at Jackson Memorial have acquired its Hominis Surgical System for use in single site, natural orifice laparoscopic-assisted transvaginal benign gynecological procedures including benign hysterectomy.

The Hominis System is designed to replicate the motions and capabilities of a surgeon's arms. Multiple instruments can be introduced to the body through a single portal and the 360-degree articulation offers obstacle avoidance as well as optimal access and working angles.
Hominis requires a much smaller footprint and costs significantly less than conventional robotic systems. It was granted FDA de novo marketing authorization in February 2021.
"It is essential that healthcare systems and clinicians continue to invest in innovative and disruptive technology to offer superior healthcare and optimal outcomes for patients," said Ricardo E. Estape, MD, a practicing gynecology oncologist at Kendall Regional Medical Center and director of HCA Healthcare's Institute for Gynecologic Oncology. "We are proud to be among the first in the US to offer this novel system, allowing us to perform minimally invasive gynecological procedures using the transvaginal approach, which is known to offer less pain, lower infection rates, faster recovery, and no visible scarring."
"We are proud to partner with these leading healthcare providers to empower surgeons with a better user experience and help them better serve the thousands of women who undergo gynecologic surgery each year," said Dvir Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Memic.
