The Prosurgics business started life in 1996, then named Armstrong Healthcare. The company was founded following the completion of an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) feasibility study into possible applications for robotics in medicine and healthcare; this identified over 400 possible applications for robotics in medicine. Armstrong quickly focused down to the specific area of surgical robotics, and over the following decade developed a portfolio of technologies, and two 1st generation products in this field: EndoAssist, a laparoscopic camera controller; and Pathfinder Neuro, the image-guided positioner for stereotactic neurosurgery. Armstrong changed its name to Prosurgics in September 2006 to reflect the positive evolution of the company as it augmented its strong technological foundations to become a truly customer focused and commercially led business.
