Innovation Submissions

The Centre for Surgical Invention and Innovation (CSii) is a reality because of the vision and passion of Dr. Mehran Anvari, for advanced surgical tools.  As a highly skilled surgeon, he envisaged that these tools would help to increase the capability of surgeons, reduce the trauma and recovery times for patients and increase the surgical success.  This centre sets out to develop image guided medical robotic platforms that can be tailored to specific surgical applications.

This multidiciplinary approach, comprised of medical, engineering, biological, information technology, and systems integration experts, provides a strong support for each of our clients in a diverse and customized fashion.

Our Centre is comprised of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team allowing us to provide a seamless support system and expertise to navigate and execute various stages of the commercialization and development process.

We aim to provide scalable capacity to your company, whether it is to round out certain skills within your product development team for the duration of a project or simply meet a short-term gap in personnel.

We are also able to guide you rapidly and cost-effectively through the entire complex commercialization roadmap (from concept to market-ready), ensuring that your product fits into its environment, meets with stakeholder expectations and business goals, and provides enduring value and enjoyment to the users.
