Through the $10 million license payment and $1.5 million loan from Medtronic, and the over $20 million raised in public equity, we have been able to resume product development of our single-port robotic surgical system. Robotic systems designed for surgery are highly technical and complex pieces of equipment, involving medical-grade software and numerous electro-mechanical systems, precise surgical instruments and sterile interface components, all designed for instinctive use and successful surgical outcomes. To facilitate the unique design and development of our system, Titan has engaged individuals and third parties with specialized competencies for assistance with certain aspects of our system such as our innovative dual-view camera system, multi-articulating instruments and simulation training software. We have also established a U.S. subsidiary to initially focus on product development activities, which is based at our new dedicated, purpose-built space in North Carolina's Research Triangle, a leading high-tech and medical technology hub, which is also in close proximity to our development partners. The recruitment of highly skilled and experienced technical personnel to manage, execute and provide in-house expertise in product development is well underway.

The opportunity for single-port robotic surgery appears promising, with initial and on-going clinical success being reported by surgeons using Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci SP®, the only commercially available single-port offering, but currently with surgical indications outside our initial target area. We believe that our robotic assisted surgical system, having been designed with a focus on single-port surgery, may provide competitive advantages for physicians and their clinical teams, hospitals and patients. Should we be able to complete product development and achieve regulatory clearance in a timely manner, upon commercialization we expect our single-port system to expand the market for robotic assisted surgery with attractive pricing, a reduced operating room footprint and greater portability within the hospital. With these target product attributes, we intend to focus early commercialization efforts on U.S. ambulatory surgery centers wishing to perform benign procedures in a lower-cost setting compared to hospitals.

We are grateful to the retail and institutional shareholders that have financed Titan Medical over its 12-year history. Earlier this year, we raised $21.2 million through three financings led by H.C. Wainwright & Co., plus $2 million from an equity line of credit provided by Aspire Capital Fund, LLC. We estimate that in addition to our current cash on hand , plus $31 million in payments that we are entitled to receive upon achievement of the milestones defined under the Medtronic development and license agreement, we will have sufficient capital to operate and work towards achievement of certain product development milestones over the next 12 months. We will continue to evaluate and consider financing options as they become available, including equity and debt, to best position Titan Medical to complete product development and preparation of regulatory filings related to our single-port robotic surgical system.

Looking ahead, we believe that the estimated magnitude of the robotic assisted surgery market opportunity justifies the investment of substantial human and financial capital to improve patient outcomes through single-port robotic surgery. We remain committed to our vision of delivering both patient and physician satisfaction through a product that, upon completion, we expect will be able to reduce trauma and deliver virtually scar-free surgery.

I have often said that I am proud of our team, which includes our employees, our expert consultants, development and manufacturing partners, and the surgeons who advise us. It is through their ongoing commitment, energy, guidance and teamwork that we have achieved so much, and most recently in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain grateful to you, our shareholders, who have provided the capital for our growing team to execute on our collective vision for single-port robotic surgery.

Titan Medical Inc. is focused on robotic-assisted technologies for application in minimally invasive surgery ("MIS"). Titan is developing a single-port robotic surgical system comprised of a surgeon-controlled patient cart that includes a dual-view camera system with 3D and 2D high-definition vision systems and multi-articulating instruments for performing MIS procedures, and a surgeon workstation that provides an ergonomic interface to the patient cart and a 3D high-definition endoscopic view of the MIS procedure. Titan intends to initially pursue gynecologic surgical indications for use of its single-port robotic surgical system.
