Imagine a drill that knows exactly when to stop so it doesn't accidentally nick a nerve or blood vessel. This technology acts like a smart guard for surgeons, making bone cutting much safer. It's like having a high-tech safety brake that prevents the drill from going too deep into delicate areas.
Up to 30% of bone drilling surgeries result in severe soft tissue injuries due to millimetric errors or excessive force. This creates a critical safety risk in neurosurgery, otology, and spinal procedures.
A product platform featuring two safety burr sizes (4mm and 5.4mm) and a sensor solution to detect bone breakthrough moments.
If you are a tool manufacturer dealing with high complication rates in bone drilling—this project developed a safety burr platform that reduces medical errors. By integrating the sensor solution, you can offer tools that detect breakthrough moments to avoid damaging soft tissue.
If you are a robotics company dealing with the need for precision in automated bone cutting—this project developed a scalable safety feature that can be customized for robotics-assisted surgery. This ensures the robot does not exceed safe boundaries during procedures.
If you are a hospital dealing with the fact that 30% of bone drilling surgeries can lead to severe soft tissue injury—this project developed a CE-marked safety burr. This allows your surgeons to perform neurosurgery and spinal procedures with significantly lower risk of life-threatening complications.
The project successfully optimized the production process, which reduced the cost per piece by 40%.
Yes, the company developed in-house assembly capacity and doubled its production capacity, while partnering with GMI Corporation and Montemurro Utensili.
Based on available project data, the product has received a CE mark, indicating it meets regulatory standards for sale in Europe.
Surgify established a partnership with Nouvag, an established console manufacturer, to integrate the safety burr with data analytics.
The project modified the product design to increase the durability of the burr from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
The project was led by a single Finnish SME, Surgify Medical Oy, showing a highly streamlined 100% industry-led execution. Rather than relying on academic partners, the company scaled through strategic industrial partnerships with GMI Corporation, Montemurro Utensili, and Nouvag, and validated the tech through clinical trials at two university hospitals.
