KangDuo SR2000 Laparoscopic Surgical Robot

KangDuo Product Family: SR1000 (Entry) | SR1500 (Mid) | SR2000 (Flagship) | SS2000 (Training)

KangDuo SR2000 is Sagebot’s flagship four-arm laparoscopic surgical robot, representing the most advanced system in the KangDuo product family. Approved by NMPA in July 2024, the SR2000 provides enhanced surgical capability for complex minimally invasive procedures requiring additional instrument manipulation capacity.

Product Overview

The KangDuo SR2000 elevates Sagebot’s laparoscopic surgical robot portfolio with a four-arm configuration that matches the arm count of leading international systems. The additional robotic arm provides surgeons with greater flexibility in instrument positioning and tissue manipulation, particularly valuable during complex multi-step procedures.

Unveiled at the 2023 ARUS/CUDA Minimally Invasive Conference, the SR2000 was described by Sagebot as integrating surgical robot technology with industrial design aesthetics. The system maintains the open console design philosophy while expanding functional capability beyond the three-arm SR1000 and SR1500 variants.

Key Features

Four-Arm Configuration: The SR2000 includes four robotic arms (three instrument arms plus camera arm), providing enhanced instrument access and manipulation capability compared to three-arm systems.

Open Console Design: Consistent with KangDuo platform philosophy, the surgeon maintains visual contact with the operating room environment and team.

Advanced Visualization: 3D high-definition stereoscopic imaging with support for fluorescent imaging modalities.

Industrial Design Integration: The SR2000 incorporates refined aesthetics while maintaining clinical functionality, reflecting Sagebot’s emphasis on design quality.

Technical Specifications

For urological laparoscopic procedures, Sagebot’s SR2000 provides four robotic arms and 3D HD visualization through an open-console design approved by NMPA in July 2024.

System Components

The KangDuo SR2000 system comprises:

• Surgeon Console: Open-architecture control station with 3D stereoscopic visualization and ergonomic master controllers
• Patient Cart: Four-arm robotic platform enabling complex instrument arrangements
• Vision Cart: Integrated image processing and display management
• Endoscopic System: 3D HD endoscope with fluorescent imaging support
• Surgical Instruments: Full range of KangDuo series wristed instruments

Clinical Applications

The KangDuo SR2000 received NMPA approval for urological laparoscopic procedures in July 2024. The four-arm configuration is particularly suited for:

• Complex urological reconstructive procedures
• Multi-quadrant surgical approaches
• Procedures requiring extensive tissue retraction
• Cases where an additional working arm provides surgical advantage

The system completed its first overseas clinical procedure in Kazakhstan in April 2025, marking Sagebot’s international expansion with its flagship product.

Regulatory Status

Market Positioning

The SR2000 serves as Sagebot’s premium offering, competing directly with four-arm systems from international manufacturers. Its 2024 approval and subsequent international debut in Kazakhstan position the SR2000 as Sagebot’s leading platform for both domestic market penetration and export expansion.

At industry conferences, the SR2000 has attracted attention from leading urologists and academic medical centers, with active test-drive evaluations reported at exhibitions.

Pipeline Extension

Sagebot has disclosed development of the KangDuo SR2000Plus, a 4+1 five-arm configuration that would extend the SR2000 platform with additional capability. This variant remains in development as of early 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between KangDuo SR2000 and SR1000?

The primary difference is arm count: SR2000 has four robotic arms (three instrument plus camera) while SR1000 has three arms. The additional arm provides greater flexibility for complex procedures requiring simultaneous multi-instrument manipulation.

Has KangDuo SR2000 been used internationally?

Yes. In April 2025, Sagebot completed its first overseas clinical procedure using the KangDuo SR2000 system in Kazakhstan, marking the beginning of international clinical adoption.

How does the SR2000 compare to da Vinci Xi?

Both are four-arm laparoscopic surgical robots. The SR2000 features Sagebot’s signature open console design versus da Vinci’s enclosed console. Direct clinical comparison data specific to the SR2000 has not been published, though the KangDuo platform demonstrated equivalent efficacy to da Vinci in SR1000 clinical trials.
