In this episode of The Techne Connect, David Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis, explains how he rebuilt a medical robotics company facing bankruptcy and turned it into a leader in endovascular surgery.

He outlines how Stereotaxis developed magnetic navigation systems that guide soft, hair-thin catheters through the body with high precision and why this approach improves safety and access to minimally invasive care. David also shares the company’s latest progress, including regulatory approval of the Genesis X robot.

He reflects on leadership, culture, and the realities of long-term innovation in a regulated field. David gives clear advice for engineers entering robotics, emphasising interdisciplinary thinking, problem solving, and commitment over time.
