Levita Magnetics

Levita Magnetics, Inc. is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Mountain View, California, with additional offices in Santiago, Chile. Founded in 2011 by surgeon and inventor Dr. Alberto Rodriguez-Navarro, the company developed the first and only FDA-cleared Magnetic Surgery platform, which uses external magnets to control intern... al magnetic graspers during abdominal surgical procedures, reducing the number of incisions and trocars required. In 2023, Levita launched the MARS (Magnetic-Assisted Robotic Surgery) Platform, which integrates magnetic and robotic technology with AI-driven camera guidance to enhance precision and surgical control in high-volume minimally invasive abdominal procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bariatric surgery, and hiatal hernia repair. The platform is designed to improve patient outcomes through reduced surgical trauma, fewer visible scars, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery. Levita Magnetics serves surgeons and hospitals globally and has received FDA clearance across multiple surgical indications.Read More
