About Levita Magnetics
Levita Magnetics is a Silicon Valley-based medical device company pioneering Magnetic Surgery technology to transform surgical care worldwide. Founded by minimally invasive surgeon Dr. Alberto Rodriguez-Navarro and co-founded by businessman Nicolas Luksic, the company developed the first and only Magnetic Surgery platform designed to enhance surgical outcomes while reducing invasiveness. In 2023, Levita launched the MARS (Magnetic Surgery) Platform, which builds on the clinical benefits of magnetic positioning while providing additional advantages for surgeons and hospitals. The MARS system uses Dynamic Magnetic Positioning technology for liver retraction and tissue manipulation during minimally invasive procedures, requiring fewer incisions than traditional approaches. The platform has achieved multiple FDA clearances for general surgery, bariatric procedures, hiatal hernia repair, and pediatric use. In 2025, Levita made history by powering the world's first AI-guided autonomous surgery, demonstrating how AI-driven camera guidance can enhance precision and efficiency. The company has also pioneered the integration of augmented reality headsets (Meta Quest) with surgical robotics, offering surgeons enhanced depth perception and visualization. With over 1,000 procedures performed using the MARS system, Levita serves hospitals and surgical centers globally, with commercial presence in the United States and Chile. The company's mission is to help more patients get access to better surgery through innovative magnetic and robotic surgical solutions.
