On June 9, 2025, the first CORI orthopedic robotic assistant in the Czech Republic was officially launched at SurGal Clinic in Brno. The event was attended by the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Mr. Petr Fiala.
The CORI robotic system, introduced to the Czech market by Promedica as the exclusive partner of Smith+Nephew, represents the latest generation of technology in orthopedic surgery. It enables highly precise, robot-assisted procedures for both partial and total knee replacements. The system is also expected to expand its application to hip replacements, with implementation planned for 2026.
“The orthopedic technologies we bring to market represent a new standard in patient care. Through close collaboration with leading global manufacturers such as Smith+Nephew, we are able to deliver not only greater safety and efficiency in surgical procedures, but also improved patient comfort and treatment outcomes. We are proud to make these technologies accessible to Czech patients and help elevate Czech healthcare to the highest international level,” said Pavel Hanuš, CEO of PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP.
The CORI system leverages artificial intelligence, a 335 Hz real-time tracking camera, and a unique handheld robotic milling tool, ensuring maximum precision and surgical safety. Key benefits of the system include:
• Personalized surgical planning
• Precise ligament balancing and implant positioning
• Minimally invasive surgical technique
• Faster recovery and reduced risk of complications
The installation of the CORI system at SurGal Clinic underscores the growing importance of robot-assisted surgery and reflects our company’s long-term strategy focused on innovation in healthcare.

From May 14 to 16, 2025, we participated in the 28th National Congress of the Czech Society for Orthopaedics and Traumatology, held at the Clarion Hotel in Prague.
The event attracted more than 1,000 professionals, including physicians, allied healthcare personnel, physiotherapists, and other specialists. There was also a strong presence of companies from the medical technology sector.
At our booth, we presented orthopedic implants, the CORI robotic assistant, ASANUS surgical instruments, and wound care products, including the PICO 7 negative pressure therapy system.
The highlight of our presentation was a dedicated workshop featuring the CORI robotic system, which took place in a separate room equipped with two CORI workstations. This activity generated exceptional interest—CORI became the most discussed robotic system of the congress. More than one hundred participants visited the workshop throughout the day, where they had the opportunity to try out the system hands-on, ask questions, and learn more about its capabilities.
We received very positive feedback both on the practical demonstrations and the potential of the system for use in modern orthopedic practice. Several physicians even expressed interest in scheduling on-site demonstrations of CORI at their facilities.
We look forward to future professional gatherings!

On 25 April, the third edition of the Workshop on Plasma Compressive Surgery in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery took place. The event was traditionally held at the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in cooperation with Promedica and under the expert guidance of Associate Professor Martin Chovanec, MD, PhD, MHA.
The main focus of the educational meeting was not only theoretical preparation, but also practical demonstration of the use of plasmacoblation in adenotonsillar arch surgery, rhinosurgery and cervical surgery.
The workshop was attended by ten doctors from different hospitals, some of whom already have experience with the use of plasmacoblation and again evaluated the event very positively.
Due to the interest and positive response, we are therefore planning to organize a fourth edition next year, during which we would like to expand the topic to include other surgical techniques using plasmacoblation.
