Executive Summary
In the never-ending push for less invasive surgeries, lighting systems for better visualization have been largely overlooked. Crude fiberoptic tools have proved less than ideal when performing open surgery through small apertures that rely on direct visualization via the surgeon’s own sight. But now physicians have a new option for enhanced visualization: optical waveguide devices that transmit high-intensity, off-axis illumination into the desired surgical field using principles of internal reflection. This is one of the key aspects of technology from Invuity Inc., which offers three families of customized optical waveguide tools.

Are Device VCs Becoming Spineless?
Increasing concerns over the cost and efficacy of spinal procedures have chilled VC interest in spine companies, once the hot growth area in orthopedics. So, if spine is not the answer, where will VCs find investment opportunities in orthopedics, which remains one of the largest device sectors?
