During their second quarter 2026 earnings call, our partner Shoulder Innovations (NYSE: SI) shared an update on the robotic platform we’re developing together, revealing the technology will officially be known as InSet NEO and that FDA submission is planned for the first half of 2027.

July 2026 marks sixteen years since Interventional Systems was founded with an ambitious goal: that the precision of robotics should be accessible to every patient, in every hospital. Last year we looked back at milestones and timelines; this time, we’ll let the cases speak.

The Micromate™ robotic platform will be integrated into the institute’s minimally invasive surgery training curriculum.

A new multisociety Delphi consensus on procedural and practice standards for liver tumor thermal ablation, published in The Lancet Oncology, directly addresses robotic and stereotactic guidance. For interventional radiologists working with these tools, or considering them, the results are worth unpacking.

Partnership establishes a collaboration framework to combine two FDA-cleared platforms to address unmet needs in robotic navigation.

We sat down with Prof. Reto Bale, Deputy Director of the Department of Radiology and the Head of the Section of Interventional Oncology / Stereotaxy and Robotics at the Medical University of Innsbruck (Tirol Kliniken), to walk through the condition, the available treatments, and the role robotic precision plays in improving outcomes. At Innsbruck, that technology is Micromate.

As part of their Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results release, Shoulder Innovations (NYSE: SI) publicly highlighted their strategic partnership with Interventional Systems (INS) to develop a shoulder-specific micro-robotic solution for total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

We were proud to sponsor the inaugural European Conference on Image-Guided Pain Management (ECIP Summit 2026) in Vienna, a milestone event bringing together a select group of leading interventional radiologists dedicated to advancing image-guided pain therapies.

ATEC Spine has commercially launched Valence, a fully integrated robotic and navigation system for spine surgery.¹ For us at Interventional Systems, this is a milestone worth acknowledging: Valence is built on the miniature robotic technology we developed, which found its way into the spine market through Fusion Robotics and eventually into ATEC’s hands via their acquisition of Accelus in 2023.

In the first week of March, we welcomed our Micromate™ and iFIX distributors to our office in Wattens, Austria, for our annual distributor meeting — three days of product training, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.
