## About

Based in Fukuoka, Japan, and founded in 2021 by its CEO Keita Shimomura and CTO Susumu Oguri, F.MED Co., Ltd. engaged in the research and development of robotic microsurgery assist systems for surgical tool handling. In October 2022, F.MED Co., Ltd. raised venture funding from Oita Venture Capital.

F.MED Co., Ltd. develops a robotic microsurgery assist system equipped with a linear motor-driven parallel link mechanism manipulator that manipulates soft tissues, suture needles, sutures, etc. according to the doctor's input. It supports surgery to connect blood vessels with a diameter of 1 mm including reconstructive surgery after surgery for breast cancer or head and neck cancer, surgery to alleviate lymphedema, and surgery to reattach a finger that has been severed due to an accident. The company's system reduces the physical and mental burden of the operator by providing a surgical environment.

The company plans to use the venture funding to further accelerate the product development of microsurgery support robots as well as in product approval and commercialization.
