Overview
Baltimore-based surgical robotics company developing the Galen ES robotic surgical assistant platform, the first cooperatively powered robotic surgical system for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedures. Spun out of Johns hopkins university, Galen received FDA De Novo clearance for ENT surgeries. The company uses a digital-surgery-as-a-service business model — placing robots at hospitals and charging per use rather than upfront capital purchase. Relocated from Silicon Valley to Baltimore in 2019 with state and city incentives.
Clean safety record across 1 verified deployment. Deployment footprint remains limited relative to category peers.
