In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a chat with Dr. Alberto Rodriguez-Navarro, CEO of Levita Magnetics, a startup aiming to make surgical procedures as minimally invasive as possible with its advanced magnetic technology. Dr. Rodriguez-Navarro is not only a skilled surgeon but a medtech visionary with multiple patents to his name.
