Founded in 2019 by Tom Shrader, R2 Surgical was born from a vision to revolutionize access to advanced surgical technology. After earning his international business degree and founding Medco Blue (a global medical imaging equipment supplier) in 2015, Tom recognized an untapped opportunity in the pre-owned surgical robotics market. What began at a kitchen table quickly expanded as Tom assembled a specialized team of experts to address every aspect of surgical robotics. He recruited field service engineers with deep technical knowledge, professional clinical trainers experienced in robotic surgery techniques, and certified Sterile Processing professionals to ensure our equipment meets the highest safety standards. Each team member was chosen to fulfill our promise of comprehensive service beyond equipment sales.
R2 Surgical stands apart as one of the few companies offering complete solutions for pre-owned da Vinci surgical robots and related instruments. Our dedicated team supports hospitals from installation through implementation, providing ongoing technical support, specialized training, and sterilization expertise that many facilities couldn't otherwise access. We're passionate about making this life-saving technology affordable for hospitals with limited budgets while championing environmental sustainability.
By giving high-quality medical equipment a second life, we're reducing medical waste and helping healthcare facilities across the globe provide better patient care. Our mission is simple: make advanced surgical technology accessible to all while ensuring its integration into healthcare is environmentally responsible and fully supported.
