Mendaera, Inc.

Mendaera develops the Focalist™ handheld robotic system, a breakthrough medical device that combines robotics with real-time ultrasound imaging to enhance needle-based clinical procedures. The system is designed to improve clinician precision and confidence during interventional ultrasound-guided procedures by providing automated targeting and trajectory visualization. The Focalist system integrates two core technologies: a handheld robotic component that stabilizes and guides needle placement, and real-time ultrasound imaging with target trajectory visualization. This combination addresses the complexity and skill requirements of traditional ultrasound-guided needle procedures, enabling clinicians to perform interventions with greater accuracy. Mendaera received FDA clearance for the Focalist system and is preparing for broad commercial launch in 2026. The company targets healthcare providers performing needle-based interventions across multiple clinical specialties. The device represents a significant advancement in image-guided surgery and interventional medicine, addressing a critical gap in procedural precision and operator-dependent variability.
