About company
SurGuide is a medical device company with the goal to improve the surgical care for cancer patients. They support surgeons in their aim to achieve complete tumor removal, which is the biggest challenge in cancer surgery. Incomplete tumor removal, negatively affects patient outcome and necessitates additional treatment1. SurGuide’s technology addresses the problem that the information about the result of the operation becomes available only after several days. SurGuide’s technology will enable inspection of the resected tissue to determine if a tumor has been completely removed. The result of this inspection is reported to the surgeon, while the patient is still in the operating room. The report shows at which locations the tumor has not been completely removed. Based on this critical feedback the surgeon can decide to perform an additional resection at the indicated locations. In this way SurGuide’s technology will help to increase the rate of complete tumor resections.
