Alesi Surgical was founded in 2009 to develop and commercialise products that improve the safety, efficacy and outcomes of surgical procedures. The company is a spin-out from the Welsh Institute for Minimal Access Therapy (WIMAT), a leading surgical training centre in the UK. Alesi Surgical has a unique level of access to experienced surgeons, surgical trainers and trainees, which allows it to identify issues in procedures and design devices to address these issues. The company is active in the research and development of novel surgical technologies. It has a ‘needs driven’ pipeline and product development is informed by robust testing by surgical trainers who advise on the utility, usability and integration of products into surgical practice. Its lead product is Ultravision™, which was developed from concept to CE marked device and launched in 2014. Ultravision is designed to deliver rapid and continuous resolution of surgical smoke, which accumulates in the abdominal cavity during laparoscopic procedures. It is a small, stand-alone, portable unit that is fully compatible with current laparoscopic equipment and electrosurgical instruments. Alesi Surgical welcomes approaches from research-based companies or inventors who are interested in exploring potential synergies.
