“The best technology is the one that stays in the background at the crucial moment. Geniant Cranial shows that good design in surgical robotics goes far beyond aesthetics: It pairs maximum precision with intuitive operability and seamless integration.”—Red Dot jury.
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Our next generation navigated neurosurgical robot Geniant Cranial has been honored with the prestigious Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’ Award in medical devices and technology. This international recognition—the ‘Best of the Best’ distinction is reserved for only the most exceptional submission in each category—is a testament to our commitment to user-centered innovation focusing on safety, ergonomics, and clinical functionality.
About Our Platform
Geniant Cranial is an FDA-cleared navigated neurosurgical positioning robot designed to support high-accuracy, high-precision stereotactic neurosurgeries. Robotic assistance can help increase accuracy and efficiency in these complex diagnostic and therapeutic cranial procedures, such as epilepsy, deep-seated brain biopsy, DBS (deep brain stimulation) for movement disorders, and laser ablation. Our 2-in-1 system supports both robot-assisted and navigation-only cases—with real-time intelligence to enable repeatable and accurate trajectory guidance.
What Sets Us Apart:
- Reliable, Repeatable Accuracy
Our advanced, proprietary Geniant 3D Vision Technology—empowered by real-time intelligence providing reliable, accurate robotic trajectory alignment and navigation—delivers alignment and positioning precision before and throughout the procedure. - Compact, OR-Optimized Design
Our 2-in-1 robot and navigation platform is specifically engineered to enhance operating room workflow. With its compact design and easy mobility, the robot fits under the operating table, enabling a more efficient use of space and seamless integration into clinical settings. - Uncompromised Patient Safety
Our proprietary robot motion focuses on patient safety. The flexible robot movement around the patient’s head is designed to maintain a collision-free operating zone, reduce the risk of collision, and safeguard patient safety from start to finish. - User-Centered Innovation
Grounded in user-centered engineering and designed with both surgeon and patient in mind, our platform emphasizes intuitive operability in every function to ensure smooth, seamless integration into the clinical workspace.
Why We Won
According to the Red Dot jury, our product stood out for its user-focused design and exceptional functionality. In the jury statement, the panel lauded Geniant Cranial, consisting of “an ergonomically designed navigation console and a compact robot,” as a solution that supports complex neurosurgical procedures—”while remaining inconspicuous so that surgeons can concentrate fully on achieving optimal results.”
Award Night in Essen, Germany
To top it off, earlier this month our team traveled to Essen, Germany—the home of the Red Dot Award ceremony—to celebrate this incredible achievement. It was a night filled with excitement and design inspiration from innovators across industries and around the world.
Thank you to the Red Dot jury, our incredible team, and our user community. We’re inspired to keep pushing boundaries and delivering innovation that advance surgical outcomes for surgeons and patients worldwide.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey!
