Asensus Surgical, Inc. announced the installation of a Senhance® Surgical System in the General Surgery Department of Evangelical Hospital Goettingen-Weende of Göttingen, Germany. This agreement to lease and utilize a Senhance® Surgical System was one of two announced by the Company on August 8, 2022. Asensus Surgical's technology platform, Senhance Surgical System, is the first of its kind digital laparoscopic platform.

It leverages augmented intelligence to provide unmatched performance and patient outcomes through machine learning. Senhance goes beyond the typical surgical robotic systems, providing surgical assurance through haptic feedback, eye-tracking camera control, and 3D visualization, and is the first platform to offer 3mm instruments (the smallest instrument available in the world on a robotic surgical platform). The Senhance Surgical System is powered by the Intelligent Surgical Unit™ (ISU™).

The ISU enables machine vision-driven control of the camera for a surgeon by responding to commands and recognizing certain objects and locations in the surgical field. It allows a surgeon to change the visualized field of view using the movement of their instruments. The newest ISU features expand upon these capabilities and introduce more advanced features including: 3D measurement, digital tagging, image enhancement, and enhanced camera control based on real-time data from anatomical structures while performing surgery.
