CE Certification for telesurgery opens new opportunities for Toumai® in Europe

The Toumai® surgical robot by MicroPort MedBot has reached an important milestone with its CE certification for telesurgery. This achievement places Toumai® among the first robotic surgical systems certified to enable remote surgery in Europe. The certification confirms that the system meets European requirements for telesurgery and marks a significant step forward in the evolution of robot-assisted surgery.

The CE certification creates new opportunities to make surgical expertise available across greater distances. Where the required technical infrastructure is in place, specialist surgeons can support healthcare institutions remotely or perform surgical procedures from a distance. This contributes to improved access to specialized care and strengthens collaboration between hospitals and surgical teams. In addition, telesurgery offers new opportunities for training, mentoring and proctoring, enabling knowledge and expertise to be shared more effectively. The potential of this technology has already been demonstrated during the first intra-European telesurgery procedures performed between ORSI Academy in Melle and AZORG in Aalst, successfully showcasing the possibilities of remote surgery.

As the distribution partner of MicroPort MedBot, Duomed supports hospitals throughout the Benelux in the implementation of the Toumai® surgical robot. In addition to supplying the system, we provide training, technical expertise and implementation support throughout the entire process. In this way, we help healthcare providers successfully integrate innovative robotic surgery technology into daily clinical practice and prepare for the next generation of surgical care.
