Distalmotion and First Citizens Bank Join Forces to Launch New Financing Program for the Robotic Surgery Pioneer's U.S. Customers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Distalmotion and First Citizens Bank's Healthcare Equipment Finance group today announced a new financing program designed to provide hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and other healthcare providers with lending and leasing solutions for Distalmotion's advanced robotic surgery technology.

A leader in MedTech innovation, Distalmotion created the DEXTER^® Robotic Surgery System to provide the benefits of robotic surgery to more patients in outpatient sites, where traditional soft tissue robots do not meet their physical, operational, or financial needs. The company is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, with U.S. offices in Cleveland, Ohio.

"Working together enables us to meet demand for DEXTER^® in the unique outpatient surgery market by providing our customers with flexible financing options," Distalmotion CEO Greg Roche said. "First Citizens' financing expertise and understanding of our customers' desire to seek flexibility beyond cash made them the right choice for us and our customers."

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Distalmotion by providing financing solutions that support their growth and continued leadership in robotic surgery innovation," said Joseph Turner, who leads strategic market development at First Citizens Bank Equipment Finance.

"We were pleased to leverage our expertise, agility and industry knowledge in the healthcare sector to support this important vendor program," said Todd Beaver, who leads the healthcare equipment finance group at First Citizens. "We recognize the value of Distalmotion's innovative technology and look forward to a long and successful relationship supporting our client and their customers."

As the healthcare industry increasingly shifts to an outpatient delivery model, the Healthcare Equipment Finance group draws from its strong history in healthcare banking and financing to serve this fast-moving sector.

First Citizens Healthcare Equipment Finance group provides an array of lending and leasing solutions to equipment manufacturers and vendors who support hospitals, healthcare systems and ambulatory surgical centers nationwide.

To do so, First Citizens leverages a wealth of health sector expertise, including its long experience working with medical device firms through its Silicon Valley Bank division and its broad familiarity with financing medical practices and healthcare companies across the U.S.
