ZAP Surgical Announces First ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery
SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., a global leader in non-invasive robotic brain surgery, today announced the first patient treatments using its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform in Latin America. Located in Neuland, Boquerón, Paraguay, Radioterapia Concordia ( has officially commenced clinical use, marking a major milestone in the decentralization of state-of-the-art brain tumor care across the region. In its first day of operation, four patients received next-generation stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with ZAP-X® for a range of intracranial conditions, including meningioma, acoustic neuroma, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Historically, patients in the central regions of Latin America have had limited or no access to modern SRS, often requiring travel to large metropolitan hubs like Buenos Aires, São Paulo, or Santiago. Radioterapia Concordia now offers these advanced treatments locally, helping bridge a longstanding healthcare gap for rural communities. 'People in rural areas deserve to receive world-class medical care where they live, from people they understand, and at a fair price,' said Prof. Dr. Peter Douglas Klassen, Founder of Saludconcordia SA. 'With ZAP-X, we are bringing the most advanced SRS capabilities to communities that have long been underserved.' The creation of Radioterapia Concordia is further bolstered by its strategic location along the Bi-Oceanic Corridor—a transformative infrastructure project linking Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile to improve regional access and trade. The new cancer center also benefits from its collaborative relationship with ZAP-X Zentrum Lingen in Germany, home to Europe's first ZAP-X system. 'This is more than just a technology deployment—it's a movement toward cooperative medicine,' said MBA MSc Edelgard Loewen, Case Manager at ZAP-X Zentrum Lingen. 'We're witnessing a new model emerge in Latin America—one that rises above the limitations of national and purely private healthcare systems to prioritize patients through altruistic, turnkey cancer care.' As an alternative to open brain surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure used to treat many primary and metastatic brain tumors, as well as other disorders of the head and neck. Unlike traditional surgery however, SRS does not require incisions or anesthesia, and patients often return to normal activities the same day. The ZAP-X system is renowned for its unique gyroscopic design, which enables the delivery of radiosurgical beams from thousands of unique angles. This approach enhances the ability to concentrate radiation precisely on the tumor while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy brain tissue—an important factor in preserving cognitive function. ZAP-X is also the first and only vault-free SRS system, removing the need for costly shielded treatment rooms. Additionally, by utilizing a modern linear accelerator, ZAP-X eliminates the use of Cobalt-60, avoiding the exorbitant costs and regulatory burdens tied to radioactive isotopes.

ZAP Surgical Announces First ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery Program Coming to Mexico at Gray Medical Institute
SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., a global leader in non-invasive robotic brain surgery, today announced that its first ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform will soon be installed in Mexico at the newly established Gray Medical Institute, located in San Pedro, part of the Monterrey Metropolitan area in the Mexican state of Nuevo León. As a newly established outpatient institute, Gray Medical is transforming the landscape of cancer care in Mexico. Purpose-built to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end oncology services, the center integrates imaging, diagnostics, radiosurgery, infusion therapy and more—all within a single, patient-centric facility. This streamlined outpatient model ensures convenient, coordinated care while significantly reducing the costs typically associated with large inpatient hospitals. Gray Medical is set to become the region's leading destination for cancer treatment with the arrival of the ZAP-X system. Offering a non-invasive alternative to open surgery for many patients, ZAP-X delivers a highly precise treatment for brain tumors and other neurological conditions—without incisions or anesthesia—and is typically completed in a single, brief outpatient visit. Installation of the ZAP-X system is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, following the center's opening this summer. The medical team will be led by Dr. Erik Edmundo Pérez Ramos, one of Mexico's foremost radiation oncologists and a respected professor. Dr. Pérez will work in close collaboration with Dr. Fabiola Flores (Neurologist), as well as Alan Quiroga, PhD, and Edgar Quiroga, PhD. 'ZAP-X is enabling us to bring world-class radiosurgery out of the big hospitals and into the community,' said Dr. Erik Edmundo Pérez Ramos, Gray Medical's Director of Radiation Oncology. 'This not only improves accessibility and convenience for patients but also establishes a new benchmark for cancer care in Mexico.' The ZAP-X platform represents a major leap forward in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Renowned for its dual-gantry design, the ZAP-X system uniquely utilizes gyroscopic mobility to direct radiosurgical beams from thousands of potential unique angles to accurately focus radiation on the intended tumor or target. This innovative method aims to improve patient outcomes by enhancing the ability to avoid critical structures like the brain stem, eyes and optic nerves. Additionally, the pioneering approach aims to reduce exposure to healthy brain tissue, thereby safeguarding patient cognitive function. ZAP-X also stands out as the first and only vault-free SRS delivery system, doing away with the necessity for healthcare providers to construct expensive shielded radiation treatment rooms, as well as providing the flexibility to site the system in locations previously considered inconceivable. ZAP-X also utilizes a modern linear accelerator to eliminate legacy use of Cobalt-60. 'We are proud to bring the first ZAP-X system to Mexico, and expanding access to advanced radiosurgical care,' said John R. Adler, MD, ZAP Surgical founder and CEO, as well as Emeritus Dorothy & TK Chan Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology at Stanford University. 'The collaboration underscores our shared vision of expanding precision SRS beyond the traditional hospital model and directly into the hands of forward-thinking outpatient centers like Gray Medical.'

Taiwanese hospital to install ZAP Surgical's radiosurgery platform
Kaohsiung Show Chwan Memorial Hospital (KSCH) is set to install ZAP Surgical Systems' ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery platform, representing a major step forward in Taiwan's neuro-oncology landscape. The installation, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, will begin treating patients from the first quarter of 2026. Part of the Show Chwan Healthcare System, KSCH is a new medical facility in Taiwan. The hospital is enhancing its neuro-oncology practice with the ZAP-X system, which offers non-invasive treatment for patients with brain tumours and other neurological disorders. SRS is a non-invasive, painless procedure that treats brain tumours and other head and neck disorders without incisions. Typically completed in a single outpatient visit, SRS represents a significant departure from traditional open surgery. Show Chwan Healthcare System president Dr. Min-Ho Huang said: 'SRS is revolutionising the way we treat brain tumours and neurological conditions. 'With the addition of ZAP-X at KSCH, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing world-class, non-invasive treatment solutions to patients in Taiwan and beyond.' The integration of ZAP-X makes radiosurgery more accessible, removing the requirements for expensive shielded radiation rooms. The ZAP-X platform uses a modern linear accelerator for radiation generation, avoiding the challenges of managing and replacing Cobalt-60 radioactive isotopes. The gyroscopic design of the ZAP-X system allows for the precise targeting of tumours from thousands of angles, which helps to protect critical structures, such as the brain stem and optic nerves. This precision reduces radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue, improving patient safety and preserving cognitive function. The Show Chwan Healthcare System has traditionally used Cobalt-60 technology for SRS treatments. The addition of the ZAP-X platform offers an alternative, promising to improve treatment versatility and accuracy.
