Activ Surgical
Digital surgery company focused on improving surgical efficiency, accuracy, patient outcomes and accessibility
About Activ Surgical
Activ Surgical, a Boston-based digital surgery company, was founded in 2017 by Dr. Peter C.W. Kim, a surgeon and bioengineering professor at George Washington University. Dr. Kim's vision to democratize surgery led to the creation of the company.
In 2016, a year before its official founding, the company achieved a significant milestone by performing the world's first fully-autonomous suturing of soft tissue. This accomplishment demonstrated the potential of its technology to outperform existing surgical methods, including open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted procedures.
The company's core product is the ActivSight™ Intelligent Light, an intraoperative surgical intelligence system. This system provides surgeons with real-time visual insights and information during procedures, enhancing their decision-making capabilities. The technology is designed to be a routine part of surgical procedures, improving efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes.
Activ Surgical operates on a business-to-business model, providing its technology to hospitals and surgical centers. The company's primary revenue stream comes from the sale of its ActivSight™ system and related services.
