AVROS-4Camera & Instrument Arm
Powered precision when you need it
A surgeon-friendly, assisted robotic arm for camera or instrument holding—fast, precise, and easy to control at the patient's side.
At a glance
- •Assisted motion: powered positioning for smooth, precise re-aiming.
- •Surgeon controls: choose foot-switch, hand control, or hybrid interaction.
- •Smart hold: motion smoothing and drift-free locking improve image quality.
- •Preset positions: configurable views/poses for common steps (e.g., fundus, Calot's triangle).
- •Scalable: run one arm for camera—or pair a second for retraction.
- •Four degrees of freedom (4DoF).
Benefits for the OR
- •Speed: — re-aim the camera or retractor in seconds, precisely and repeatably.
- •Focus: — fewer verbal cues; better flow in critical steps.
- •Consistency: — preset poses reduce variability across cases and surgeons.
- •Training: — ideal for teaching; learners keep their focus on the task, not the scope.
Clinical applications
Ideal for common, high-volume laparoscopic procedures:
cholecystectomy, hernia repair, sleeve gastrectomy, colorectal resections, hysterectomy, nephrectomy, and more.
How it works
- •Powered joints provide smooth, damped motion with surgeon-initiated commands.
- Controls:
- ○Foot control for quick re-aim while both hands operate.
- ○Hand controller on the instrument/camera for thumb-controlled nudges.
- •Safety envelopes define no-go zones around ports and anatomy.
Workflow & footprint
- •Quick setup: dock, drape, auto-check.
- •One-touch: park & resume between steps.
- •Compact: cart or table mount preserves nurse/assistant access and instrument reach.
Hygiene & safety
- •Sterile draping sets; cleanable enclosures.
- •Soft-stop speed limits; torque limiting; emergency release.
Key features
Integration & compatibility
- •Standard laparoscopes and instruments (5–10 mm).
- •Works alongside other AVROS arms (camera + retraction).
- •OR IT optional: save/load presets per procedure or surgeon profile.

FAQ
Can AVROS-4 hold instruments as well as the camera?
Yes—camera, retractor, or grasper within rated limits.
Do we need extra staff?
No—controls are designed for surgeon-at-patient workflows.
Can we store surgeon-specific presets?
Yes—preset libraries can be personalized.
