News
Dexterous Endoscopes has been featured in an official EPFL article highlighting its work on variable stiffness endoscopes enabling treatment in difficult-to-reach areas.
The article presents the technology developed at EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems and its potential to combine flexibility and rigidity in a single device, opening new possibilities for minimally invasive procedures. It also underlines the impact of the platform solution in improving surgical precision and expanding treatment capabilities.
Dexterous Endoscopes was one of 10 Swiss startups selected for the Innosuisse Startup Camp at Swissnex in San Francisco, pitching its variable stiffness endoscope to the Bay Area innovation community.
Dexterous Endoscopes won the Newcomer of the Year award, recognising the best newcomer in the Top100 Swiss Startup ranking 2026, at the award night in Zurich.
The Foundation for Innovation and Technology (FIT) has granted Dexterous Endoscopes a CHF 100,000 Tech Seed loan to continue preclinical trials and prepare the regulatory and industrialisation stages of its variable stiffness endoscope.
