Ronovo Surgical, a company that makes advanced surgical robots, has completed its Series D funding round.
The round was led by Johnson & Johnson’s venture capital arm (JJDC), with support from Lilly Asia Ventures, INCE Capital, and Granite Asia, raising a total of USD$67 million.
This is Ronovo’s second big funding round in 2025, after its Series C round led by Granite Asia earlier this year.
With over $100 million raised this year, Ronovo is getting strong backing from investors for its goal of improving minimally invasive surgery worldwide.
Along with finishing its Series D funding, Ronovo Surgical made a partnership deal with Johnson & Johnson Medical (Shanghai) Ltd. The goal is to give hospitals in parts of China more options and better access to surgical technology. Through this partnership, hospitals will be able to use Carina™, Ronovo’s main modular robotic surgery system, together with Johnson & Johnson’s medical technologies.
In March 2025, Carina™ received approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). It is the first modular surgical robot in China to get approval for four specialties: General Surgery, Gynecology, Urology, and Thoracic Surgery. Thanks to its modular design, Carina™ solves common problems with older robotic systems by being more flexible, adaptable, and affordable.
At the same time, Ronovo is expanding globally, with applications already submitted in Europe and South America. The platform has also earned strong support from international medical experts, showing that Carina™ brings unique value and can meet important needs in healthcare worldwide.
Dr. John Ma, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Ronovo Surgical, commented:
“We are grateful for the successful closing of our Series D round led by JJDC. Carina™—flexible, adaptable, and affordable—embodies our commitment to democratizing access to surgical robotics on a global scale. We’re excited about the strategic collaboration with Johnson & Johnson MedTech, which will further accelerate our commercial momentum in China while laying the foundation for international growth.”
