Yukalyptus

Hybrid surgical robotics

Robotic precision,
in the surgeon’s hands.

Surgeon-controlled robotic tools, engineered to bring robotic assistance into more procedures, more rooms, and more hospitals.

Adoption without disruption

Robotic tools that fit standard surgical workflows.

Fits any OR

Wheels in like any other surgical cart. No surgeon's console, no permanent install, no operating room rebuilt around a multi-arm robot.

No vendor lock-in

Adopt one tool at a time instead of committing to an entire robotic platform. Each device stands on its own, so you can start small and scale on your own timeline.

Familiar workflow

The port placement, sterilization, and choreography surgeons already know. Yukalyptus extends laparoscopic technique instead of replacing it, so proficiency comes fast.

Modular tool system

One handle. Every end-effector the case needs.

LumaGrip’s quick-release jaw mount accepts the four primary end-effector families for laparoscopic surgery — each independently sterilizable and Yukalyptus-certified for the 7-DoF articulation envelope. Compatible with standard ESU connections, so it drops into existing OR power workflows.

Yukalyptus LumaGrip end-effector family — monopolar scissors, precision dissector, monopolar hook, and micro-textured needle holder, each mounted on the 7-DoF articulated wrist.
01

Monopolar Scissors

Energized sharp dissection with simultaneous hemostasis.

02

Precision Dissector

Atraumatic grasping and blunt dissection in tight planes.

03

Monopolar Hook

Targeted electrosurgical separation along anatomical planes.

04

Micro-Textured Needle Holder

Secure needle control for intracorporeal suturing.

Why we're starting with the camera holder.

Sequencing the LumaArm ahead of the LumaGrip — lower regulatory risk, camera-holder precedent, no tissue contact — and the OR access it earns to validate the wristed instrument.

The OR minute, costed.

Operating-room time runs $36–$100 per minute (Childers & Maggard-Gibbons, JAMA Surg 2018). A short read on what that figure means for hospital adoption of tools that compress case length.
