A new imaging platform designed to give surgeons the visibility, freedom, and intelligence to operate at a higher level — across the full spectrum of minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive procedures demand extraordinary precision — yet the endoscope, largely unchanged for decades, imposes fundamental constraints on every procedure. One hand occupied. One viewing angle. One portal consumed by the scope. These are structural limits on what’s surgically possible.
The Earendel System is designed to eliminate the constraints that define today’s minimally invasive OR. It is designed to enable TRUE-3D™ visualization and full two-handed surgical freedom. First indication: sports medicine. Built to expand across the full spectrum of minimally invasive surgery.
Reactions from practicing orthopedic surgeons following hands-on evaluation of the Earendel System.
Imagine arthroscopy with less complexity, more independence, and freedom from CapX. No need for an assistant, and no need for an expensive arthroscope.
The most consequential ground breaking improvement in arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery in over a decade.
We are in an era of processes that are transforming our world and our daily practice. In many ways, Earendel is to arthroscopy what AI is to software development.
This is a truly innovative system pushing beyond the conventional limits of arthroscopy. Working with it opens a new depth of insight and precision. It is not merely a tool; it represents a true leap forward in surgical capability.
Minimally invasive surgery is one of the fastest-growing segments in healthcare — driven by aging populations, rising demand for faster recovery, and a global shift toward outpatient, cost-effective care. The Earendel Platform addresses a fundamental limitation that spans every MIS specialty.
The first addressed indication is arthroscopy — a $6.5B market with over 1.77 million procedures performed annually across knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist. The Earendel System is targeting FDA 510(k) clearance, with a regulatory strategy based on established single-use camera precedents, and a roadmap to expand into laparoscopy, neurosurgery, and adjacent MIS segments.
Deep MedTech experience across image guidance, imaging, robotics and AI — combined with direct observation of surgical unmet needs.
We welcome conversations with VCs, investors, strategic partners, and clinical collaborators with a shared interest in advancing minimally invasive surgery.
