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.

The SHERPA research consortium has initiated seven clinical studies to demonstrate the benefits of AI- and robotics-assisted workflows in minimally invasive treatments for brain aneurysms* and liver tumors.

We recently participated at the Spectrum Miami Conference, where we had the opportunity to showcase Micromate™ and connect with leading professionals in interventional radiology and oncology.

Let’s wrap up 2025 by looking back at some of the milestones that shaped the year!

The transformative shoulder-specific micro-robotic solution will be designed to further enhance shoulder surgical precision, workflow efficiency, and enable exciting, new clinical approaches in the total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) markets.

The companies are proud to announce a co-marketing agreement to promote the benefits of robot-assisted percutaneous procedures in the Siemens Healthineers angiography suites.

Leveraging Micromate™ robotic technology, the new device’s approval for clinical use marks a new era for robot-assisted spinal surgery in China, driven by a successful international collaboration between Austria-based company Interventional Systems and Chinese company HICREN.
