Focus: ChemoMaker®

The Robot that Protects Nurses

Every day in hospitals, nurses and pharmacists manually prepare highly toxic chemotherapy drugs. ChemoMaker® completely automates this process, eliminating exposure to cytotoxic substances.

The new CSTD (Closed System Transfer Device) version, launched in 2025, is completely sealed and requires no structural modifications to the pharmacy, removing the main barrier to adoption.

Real customers in Italian hospitals confirm: "greater safety for staff and increased productivity".
