What athletes love about Garmin

“Living in Seattle, I rely heavily on indoor track training, and the indoor track activity on my Garmin Forerunner® 970 allows me to maintain the same level of pacing precision I expect from GPS outdoors. The consistency my smartwatch provides is critical for getting the most out of every session—no matter where I’m running.”
—Isaiah Harris, Garmin-sponsored 800m runner

“My Edge 850 is a non-negotiable for every training ride. Lately, I have been exploring new ride areas and trails. It’s so important for me to reduce my pause time while training, so I have a screen set on my Edge with a large view of navigation with a couple ride stats, including my ride time and power. Since the navigation on the Edge is so easy to use and read while riding, I can stay on top of my specific training plan and ride like a local in new places. The entire ecosystem on Garmin Connect makes it easy to view my training stats, sleep, and recovery all in one place. One feature I really appreciate is the Altitude Acclimation, which allows me to track my elevation and performance improvements throughout my altitude training. Since I am tracking my training load on my Edge and sleep with my Index™ Sleep Monitor1, I can optimally observe how I balance my training and recovery while at altitude. Every detail counts!”
—Haley Batten, Garmin-sponsored mountain biker

TORONTO, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – OpsGuru, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, announced today the launch of OpsGuru Agentic Delivery, an AI-native professional services model designed to deliver governed, production-grade AI outcomes for customers at fixed-fee pricing.

The announcement addresses a critical gap in the AI services market. While AI investment has surged over the past two years, the majority of AI projects remain in proof-of-concept, unable to clear the architectural, governance, and execution hurdles required for production deployment. OpsGuru Agentic Delivery is purpose-built to close that gap.

“The gap in AI adoption isn’t the technology, it’s the delivery model. Businesses have access to world-class models and cloud infrastructure, but what they lack is a trusted partner who can take that capability from a whiteboard to a production system on a budget they can defend to their board,” said Ryan Smyth, President & CEO of OpsGuru. “OpsGuru Agentic Delivery is our answer to that problem: governed AI delivery with a fixed fee and human expertise to ensure every system we ship is production-ready and auditable. This is how professional services for AI should work. When we deliver faster, our customers get their outcomes sooner.”

OpsGuru Agentic Delivery gives customers three things the traditional services model cannot: a fixed price before work begins, a production system as the defined deliverable, not a prototype or a report, and a delivery team that combines AWS-certified architects with a governed portfolio of specialized AI agents operating under strict data and security controls. Engagements begin with a fixed-scope Discover phase, typically four to six weeks, that assesses AI opportunities across the customer’s workflows, defines the target architecture, and delivers a fully costed proposal for production. Discover is a standalone, fixed-fee engagement that includes full deliverables.

OpsGuru Agentic Delivery is built on the AWS platform, leveraging AWS security controls, data governance capabilities, and OpsGuru’s validated AWS competencies in AI Services, Migration, and DevOps at every engagement. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, OpsGuru brings a level of AWS delivery accountability, earned through certification, customer outcomes, and joint engagement.

With this launch, OpsGuru continues to further expand its AWS Premier Tier partnership into the AI delivery layer, bringing the same rigor and accountability that define its cloud practice to the challenge of getting AI from proof of concept to production. To learn more about OpsGuru Agentic Delivery or to begin a Discover engagement, visit opsguru.com or contact sales@opsguru.com.

Company also announces 510(k) pending for LigaSure™ RAS Maryland instrument on the Hugo RAS system, and 510(k) clearance for ProGrip™ Advanced self-gripping polypropylene mesh for use in robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair surgeries

GALWAY, Ireland, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced significant milestones to unlock expanded indications for the Hugo™ robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system in the United States and to shape the future of surgery.

General surgery indication including hernia repair — 510(k) clearance submittedEmbrace Gynecology Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study — completed enrollmentGynecologic surgery indication — 510(k) clearance submittedLigaSure™ RAS Maryland instrument — 510(k) clearance submittedProGrip™ Advanced mesh for use in robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair — 510(k) clearance received

These milestones build momentum for Medtronic’s Surgical business and its purposeful launch of the Hugo RAS system, which received FDA clearance for urologic surgical procedures in December 2025 and is in commercial use at leading U.S. medical centers. With nearly five years of commercial experience across more than 35 countries in five continents, the Hugo RAS system has been used in tens of thousands of procedures and its safety and effectiveness is supported by hundreds of independently published scientific papers.

Medtronic is the first and only company that can meet surgeons’ needs across all surgical modalities — open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted — giving surgeons and health systems the choice and partnership required to build and grow successful surgery programs across care settings.

“These milestones and innovative technologies will unlock our ability to enhance the value of our partnership in general and gynecologic surgical procedures,” said Matt Anderson, senior vice president and president of the Surgical business at Medtronic. “This isn’t just a portfolio expansion, it’s part of our ongoing commitment to unite instruments, intelligence, and human hands into one unique surgical ecosystem. One that enables every patient, everywhere, access to the best possible surgery.”

Expanding Hugo™ RAS indications and capabilities
The 510(k) filings for Hugo RAS system use in general surgery and gynecological procedures would significantly broaden the platform’s clinical applicability in the U.S. and address growing demand for robotic-assisted minimally invasive options in these high-volume specialties. Medtronic has decades of experience collaborating with surgical teams in general surgery and gynecologic surgery to advance patient care globally; they are also indications where the Hugo RAS system is in clinical use in major markets outside the U.S. 

Bringing together technology surgeons trust and furthering its commitment to continually enhancing Hugo™ RAS system capabilities, today Medtronic announced it has submitted a 510(k) filing to the FDA for the LigaSure RAS Maryland instrument.

Designed exclusively for use with the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform on the Hugo™ RAS system, LigaSure RAS incorporates vessel-sealing technology that has been used in more than 35 million procedures across 65+ countries. LigaSure RAS was introduced on the Hugo RAS system in Europe in 2025.

“LigaSure technology has been transformative for surgery and integrating it onto the Hugo RAS system gives surgeons greater confidence and control during critical moments in complex procedures,” said Dr. Matthew Kroh, chief medical officer within the Surgical business at Medtronic and a practicing general surgeon. “As more and more surgeons and patients demand robotic-assisted surgery, we need more access to technology and training, and Medtronic brings that choice in a very powerful way.”

Our most advanced robotic mesh1-3,†
Today Medtronic also announced it received FDA clearance for ProGrip™ Advanced, an evolution of existing mesh technologies to better align with the specific demands of robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair.

ProGrip meshes have been used in more than 6 million procedures. ProGrip Advanced supports surgical efficiency in robotic procedures by making it easier to introduce through trocars, handle, deploy, and unfold compared to previously available products and comes in a variety of sizes to meet each patient’s needs.2-3,‡

Every year, nearly 470,000 ventral hernia repair procedures are performed in the U.S. — more and more are being done with the assistance of a robot, and an increasing number are performed at alternative sites of care as hospitals shift lower acuity procedures to ambulatory centers to support a patient-centered approach to care while managing cost pressures and capacity challenges. The Medtronic surgical ecosystem across open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgery is uniquely positioned to help solve these problems.

Enrollment complete in Embrace Gynecology IDE study for the Hugo™ RAS system
Medtronic also announced today that the company has completed enrollment in the Embrace Gynecology Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study for the Hugo™ RAS system in the U.S. Embrace Gynecology is a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Hugo™ RAS system when used in robotic-assisted gynecologic procedures. The study enrolled 70 patients across 5 U.S. hospitals.
