The SutureSense Solution

Our Value Proposition: Eliminate the guesswork and reduce the reoperation rate.

Device Assembly

The Device: A handheld mechanical device designed to provide real-time tension feedback in the operating room. By providing a visual scale of the forces being applied to the fascial tissue during a procedure, it ensures that each suture is applied within an optimal physiological tension range.

The Interface: The device features a clear, color-coded scale that indicates tension ranges in real-time. This allows surgeons to immediately identify when they are in the optimal zone for fascial closure and avoid pulling too tight, helping to reduce complications and improve healing.

Workflow: SutureSense is designed to be integrated into the standard surgical process. The device serves as an intuitive interface that accommodates the current suture materials, allowing surgeons to maintain their preferred technique while gaining critical data. Without the need for additional power sources or calibrations, it ensures that the addition of this device adds no significant delay in the operating room.

Market Strategy

The $919 Million Problem

Subjective "feel" costs the US healthcare system nearly $1B annually in reoperations. Our strategy targets General/Trauma Surgeons and Hospital Procurement by offering a clear ROI through reduced complication rates.

Revenue Model

SutureSense utilizes a single-use disposable model creating revenue through direct sales, hospital procurement contracts, and adoption within surgical training programs.

The SutureSense Impact

Improved Precision

Replaces manual "feel" with objective data, ensuring consistent, measurable tensioning during surgery.

Improved Circulation

SutureSense will help protect blood flow to the fascia during surgery and recovery, improving patient outcomes.

Reduced Recurrence

Higher quality primary repairs lead to fewer recurrences and lower long-term healthcare costs.

The Color Tension Scale

SutureSense measures four distinct zones.

Optimal

Green: Optimal Zone

This is the ideal tension range for the suture during a ventral hernia repair.

Caution

Yellow: Caution

This range indicates the transition towards the upper limit of safe tensioning.

Warning

Orange: Warning

This represents the range for the upper limit where blood flow may be restricted.

Danger

Red: Danger

This indicates the range of excessive tension where tissue damage and repair failure can occur.
