At the intersection of medicine, design, and engineering is where we believe that innovation thrives and we can unlock mankind’s unrealized potential. To that end, we are on a mission to transform reconstructive microsurgery and help patients who’ve suffered debilitating disease and deformity.

In 1962, a team of surgeons performed the first successful replantation of a human limb on a young boy, Everett Knowles. They had to manually sew together microvascular arteries and veins to restore blood circulation to the limb which at the time was made possible by the advent of the operating microscope. This operating microscope ushered in the new era of reconstructive microsurgery where surgeons could not only see more, they could do more. But over 60 years later, the standard of care has not changed. Surgeons continue to hand sew microvascular arteries – a technique that is technically difficult, risky, and time-consuming.

We plan to bring change – a better way to connect microvascular arteries and veins. To help surgeons restore form, function, and well-being to patients who have had this taken away.

We’ve developed a revolutionary coupler that is set to become the new standard of care in microsurgery. Our coupler will eliminate the need for hand-sewing, drastically reducing the time and risk of complications during surgery.

Our mission is to maximize surgeon performance and give patients who have suffered from debilitating disease or deformity a new lease on life. We will continue to push the boundaries of medicine, design, and engineering to solve mankind's greatest challenges.
