SLAM Orthopedic, developer of advanced sensor systems for surgical applications, has successfully raised a seed investment of €2 million (~USD $2.15 million).
The funds will be used to finalize the product development of SLAM Ortho’s flagship ADEPTH system for orthopedic and trauma surgery. The add-on sensor allows surgeons who treat patients with fractures to automatically measure and indicate the required implant size. ADEPTH can save time during trauma surgery, improve the quality of care and prevent surgical waste.
SLAM Ortho is focused on solving one of the ubiquitous challenges in fracture surgery; each screw implant must be correctly sized to avoid implant instability and potential tissue or joint damage. Currently, this is done manually, which is time consuming and often leads to inaccurate measurements, causing complications for patients and implant waste in the operating room. The ADEPTH sensor automates this critical step. The system is compatible with all existing drill machines and allows contactless measurement, enabling surgeons to seamlessly integrate this solution into their current workflow and equipment usage.
The ADEPTH system is being validated in a first-in-human clinical trial. SLAM Ortho expects to introduce the ADEPTH system on the European market in mid-2025.
Just Schornagel, CEO, said, “We believe the best way to support surgeons’ capabilities is by automating tedious and precise tasks, while allowing maximum flexibility. We developed the ADEPTH system with this goal in mind and in close collaboration with surgeons. This investment allows us to certify and commercialize it. We look forward to grow the company and transform trauma surgery with this group of experienced investors.”
