Making surgery safer for millions

  • Each year, millions of patients must undergo reoperations on old surgical sites.

  • Surgeons must break down the old scars to reach the new surgical site.

  • Currently, surgeons cut through the scars with scissors.

  • 20% of the time, surgeons accidentally cut into the healthy organs under the scars.

  • Addressing these injuries results in $2B of direct surgical costs in the US per year.

Solutions, not scissors

Hakala Medical is developing a product that chemically loosens internal scars, taking blades out of the equation and eliminating the risk of accidentally cutting into the healthy tissues below them.

Research shows that chemically enabled surgeries are 5x more successful, with fewer injuries and better recoveries
