Meet Carlsmed
Carlsmed is positively disrupting the $60B musculoskeletal device market by utilizing prior patient outcome data to create personalized surgical plans and devices to achieve those plans. The first application of the platform technology is to reduce surgical time, reduce cost, and improve patient outcomes for spine fusion surgery for adults.
The proprietary system developed by Carlsmed allows surgeons to upload patient imaging, receive a personalized surgical plan created with Machine Learning technology, and receive 3d printed, personalized spine fusion devices that are delivered sterile to the OR in two weeks or less.
