Capseus makes the BDC-15, a surgical device that collects usable autograft bone directly at the operating site during spinal fusion and other procedures where drilling generates bone. The filter connects to existing suction equipment in seconds, allowing surgeons to harvest the bone immediately without extra pressing or processing. Clinical examples on the company’s site include collecting up to 65 cc of autograft during a deformity procedure.

BiPAD SurgicalBiPAD Surgical develops hand-activated bipolar electrocautery cords that let surgeons activate forceps from the hand rather than searching for a foot pedal. The company’s signature BiPAD device grew from surgeon Louis G. Cornacchia III’s 2013 experience with a pedal repeatedly slipping beneath an operating table, followed by five years and more than 60 prototype revisions. Its disposable, patented cord is adjustable for left- or right-handed use and works with surgeons’ existing two-pronged forceps and a range of electrosurgical generators.
