The Romanian manufacturer Wolf-e Robotics continues its tradition of participating in the National Surgery Conference (organized under the auspices of the Romanian Society of Surgery), being present once again in 2025, at the edition held May 28–31 at the International Hotel in Iași. This reconfirms the company’s expertise and its ongoing commitment to innovation, prevention, and patient safety—with a strong focus on smart disinfection.
In a context where preventing healthcare-associated infections is more critical than ever, Wolf-e Robotics systems support both medical professionals and patients by offering an ideal balance between technology, efficiency, and ease of use.
The event is held in partnership with the “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the Society of Physicians and Naturalists of Iași, and the Iași City Hall, bringing together an impressive 1,350 participants—including physicians, researchers, academic staff, and residents from Romania and abroad—at one of the country’s most important medical forums.
The conference program is rich and diverse, featuring 420 scientific papers and discussions on current surgical topics, ranging from colorectal and breast cancer management to modern methods for treating inflammatory bowel disease. The “Varia” section provides ample space for the latest practices and innovations across multiple surgical specialties, while the presence of 31 international speakers and 12 specialized professional societies ensures a high-level exchange of knowledge at both European and global standards.
Wolf-e Robotics at the 2025 National Surgery Conference: Technological Innovation for Safer Hospitals
Wolf-e Robotics’ participation in the 2025 National Surgery Conference highlighted the vital role of technological innovation in preventing nosocomial infections. The company develops high-performance UV-C disinfection systems, tailored for both clinical environments and high-traffic public spaces. These include:
-
Mobile UV-C disinfection units for operating rooms and patient wards, capable of significantly reducing microbial load without the use of chemicals.
-
UV-C air filtration devices integrated into building infrastructure, operating continuously to lower the risk of airborne pathogen transmission.
-
Autonomous robotic solutions for full-space disinfection, using advanced mapping algorithms and UV-C radiation optimization based on room geometry.
UV-C and AMR – A Complementary Solution in the Age of Antimicrobial Resistance
Wolf-e Robotics’ participation comes at a critical moment, in a global healthcare landscape where antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is emerging as a major threat to modern surgery. According to ECDC projections for 2040, without decisive interventions, we may be heading toward a “post-antibiotic era”, where routine surgical procedures become impossible due to the uncontrollable risk of infection. The “Red Map” scenario warns of a world dominated by AMR, with staggering medical and human costs.
In this context, technologies that prevent infections without relying on antimicrobials are becoming essential. UV-C can inactivate bacteria, viruses, and fungi by destroying their genetic material, effectively reducing the emergence and transmission of resistant strains.
Wolf-e Robotics offers a complementary solution to conventional treatments: prevention through smart disinfection. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on antibiotic use, UV-C systems target the root of transmission—environmental contamination—and significantly reduce microbial load in both air and on surfaces.
In future scenarios where healthcare is increasingly privatized or where social polarization limits access to effective treatments, preventive solutions become not just an option, but a necessity. In this regard, UV-C is a scalable technology that can be integrated into any type of infrastructure—from large hospitals to private clinics or small medical offices.
Parallels Between Forecasted Futures and Today’s Solutions: Smart Disinfection
When analyzing strategic foresight scenarios such as those published by the ECDC, we can clearly identify possible trajectories where technologies developed by companies like Wolf-e Robotics become essential. In a future shaped by increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR), rapid urbanization, pressure on healthcare systems, and the need for sustainable technologies to protect public health, non-pharmaceutical solutions—such as UV-C-based air and surface disinfection—emerge as pillars of healthcare resilience.
Smart Air and Surface Disinfection
Autonomous devices equipped with high-intensity UV-C lamps and smart sensors enable complete and automated disinfection, without exposing healthcare personnel to radiation or harmful chemicals. Wolf-e Robotics systems not only eliminate bacteria and viruses but actively contribute to preventing the spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
Here is an overview of the full range of devices developed and manufactured by Wolf-e Robotics:
-
Standalone air disinfection units suitable for continuous use in the presence of people, ideal for general practitioners’ offices, dental clinics, physiotherapy rooms, medical hallways, and similar spaces (Aer, Aer 500+, Aer S, Breez)
-
Upper-room UV-C germicidal devices (Beam), up to ten times more effective than mechanical air ventilation
-
Unidirectional mobile UV-C disinfection units (Wolf-Lamp S, Wolf-Lamp)
-
UV-C air disinfection systems designed for elevators (Lift)
-
Non-autonomous mobile robots for air and surface disinfection (CoBOT-Ultra, CoBOT-Lite)
-
Autonomous mobile robots for complete air and surface disinfection (Wolf BOT)
-
Wolf-e Robotics mobile application that enables modern workflows with 100% traceability
-
WolfeSENSE digital air quality monitoring sensors,
-
A digital platform that gathers real-time data from sensors to monitor and manage indoor air quality
“A business model built around real needs. We founded the company with a clear vision: to transform the way we understand hygiene — from a reactive action into a preventive, automated, and scalable system. Wolf-e Robotics products cover a broad spectrum: from autonomous mobile disinfection robots to air purification devices and smart indoor air quality monitoring sensors. All proudly made in Romania.”
“To date, we’ve funded all research and development solely through our own resources and reinvested profit, viewing R&D as a critical strategic investment for the company. We have not accessed any EU-funded programs, although we have explored several such opportunities. We concluded that these programs involve a bureaucratic and slow process, which could limit our flexibility to pivot or reposition quickly during implementation. Instead, we’ve chosen to rely on resources that allow us to maintain full control over the direction and pace of our innovation.” — Ștefan Toma, CEO & Co-founder, Wolf-e Robotics
We Invite the Medical Community to Engage in Dialogue: Smart Disinfection
Our participation in the 2025 National Surgery Conference reflects our commitment to working closely with healthcare professionals to better understand current needs and co-develop tailored solutions.
Wolf-e Robotics not only provides advanced solutions for the present but also anticipates the future of infection prevention and hospital hygiene. In a global context increasingly vulnerable to health crises and the limitations of conventional treatments, UV-C-based disinfection technologies are a clear example of how innovation can become a strategic anchor for patient safety and the sustainability of healthcare systems.
The 2025 National Surgery Conference provided the perfect platform to demonstrate that the future of healthcare begins with the choices we make today.
