Convergence Medical

Convergence Medical's own CEO, Dr. Chris Jeffery, has recently been listed as one of Australia’s Top 100 Young Entrepreneurs, placing 44th among a field of individuals performing groundbreaking work in their respective industries. Dr. Chris Jeffery is a pioneering serial medtech entrepreneur reshaping keyhole joint surgery with his latest startup, Convergence Medical. As a co-founder of Field Orthopaedics and ASX-listed Audeara, he leverages his dual expertise in orthopaedics and engineering to tackle outdated surgical technology. Convergence Medical’s arthroscopic surgical robot launched in prototype form in November 2022 and honoured with a rare FDA special designation. It aims to reduce surgeon fatigue and improve outcomes for over 50 million patients worldwide.

Convergence Medical is proud to call Brisbane, Australia, our home. But our impact doesn’t stop there. With offices in San Francisco and New York, we’re a global company collaborating with surgeons, healthcare providers, and innovators around the world. Our mission is to revolutionise minimally invasive surgical care, and we’re doing that by bringing the innovation of the V01 Surgical Robot, the world’s first arthroscopic surgical robot to the global stage. #ConvergenceMedical #GlobalInnovation #BrisbaneTech #MedTech

What is the difference between arthroscopy and arthroplasty? Arthroscopy is minimally invasive keyhole joint surgery, in these procedures small incisions are made, cameras and specialised tools are inserted and used to surgical treat joint conditions. Arthroscopy is a gold standard treatment for many joint-related issues as it minimises damage, shortens recovery time, and aims to improve patient outcomes. On the other hand, arthroplasty is joint replacement surgery. This is an open procedure which uses a large incision allowing the surgeon to directly operate on arthritic joints to remove the degenerative surface and replace the native joint with an implant. At Convergence Medical, we’re committed to simplifying arthroscopy with cutting-edge technology like the V01, making minimally invasive surgery more effective and accessible than ever before. #ConvergenceMedical #Orthopaedics #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #Arthroscopy

The V01 isn’t just another surgical robot, it’s the only surgical robot designed specifically for arthroscopic surgery which is minimally invasive surgery. While other robots on the market focus on joint replacements, known as arthroplasty, the V01 is revolutionising minimally invasive joint surgery. We aim to deliver a level of precision that’s never been possible before, transforming the way surgeons approach complex procedures and setting a new standard for surgical innovation. #ConvergenceMedical #Arthroscopy #MedicalRobotics #SurgicalInnovation

As part of our internship program at Convergence Medical, we encourage our graduates to reflect on their experiences with us, helping them contemplate their goals and the valuable lessons they've learned. Angus Cook, in his 5th year of BA of Engineering majoring in Medical and Mechanical at QUT (Queensland University of Technology) brought his expertise to our team. During his time at Convergence, he worked on the forward and inverse kinematics (FK & IK) of a 7-DOF robotic arm. We’re proud to support emerging talent like Angus and look forward to the incredible impact he’ll make in the field of robotics and engineering! #convergencemedical #v01 #biomedicalengineering #mechanicalengineering #medicaldevices #internship #surgicalrobot #arthroscopy #UQ
