Surgical vision,
reimagined.

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.

TRUE-3D™ Imaging Two-Handed Operation Single-Use
The Challenge

Surgeons have adapted to the limits of the endoscope. They shouldn't have to.

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.

Single-handed operation
The endoscope occupies one hand at all times, preventing surgeons from working with the dexterity of both hands or requiring an assistant to hold the scope.
Limited visibility
The endoscope provides only a single viewing angle that doesn't always show the surgeon all relevant anatomy — critical information can remain out of view throughout the procedure.
Constrained access
The endoscope occupies a crucial access port, reducing instrument flexibility and often requiring repositioning mid-procedure to achieve a different viewing angle.
No intelligent assistance
Current systems offer no AI layer to enhance intraoperative decision-making, guidance, or surgical awareness.

The Earendel Platform

One system.
Complete surgical freedom.

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.

TRUE-3D™ Multi-Angle Imaging
Simultaneous multi-angle visualization — providing TRUE-3D™ views optimized for each step of the procedure.
Two-Handed Operation
Designed to free both hands — enabling a level of precision and surgical efficiency previously unavailable in MIS.
AI-Powered Views
Customizable, step-aware visualization guided by AI — designed to adapt to each phase of the procedure and support intraoperative decision-making.
Single-Use Design
Disposable by design. No sterilization or reprocessing overhead. Designed for rapid adoption across facilities.
Development Roadmap
Phase I · Now
Arthroscopy
Sports medicine — knee, shoulder, hip. 1.77M procedures annually in a $6.5B market.
Active Development
Phase II
Laparoscopy
Expanding the platform into abdominal and pelvic minimally invasive procedures.
Roadmap
Phase III
Neurosurgery
High-value neurological interventions requiring precision imaging and minimal access.
Roadmap
Beyond
Full MIS Platform
The Earendel Platform as the imaging and intelligence standard across minimally invasive specialties.

Surgeons who used it. In their own words.

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.

Market Opportunity

A platform built for a multi-billion dollar market.

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.
