What Drives Surgery without Knives?
Patient Benefit“First, do no harm”
Non-surgical solutions offer similar results without incisions, providing a faster recovery
with less mortality and morbidity
Patients Seek Out and Demand New Procedures
The Foundry, Inc24
Surgery Without Knives is Also Driven by:
A New Class of Physicians- InterventionalistsAggressive young physicians see the future comingThey don’t want to end up as prestigious, underemployed surgeons
Providers and PayersHospitals make tactical decisions regarding cost vs. reimbursementCompanies have learned to drive reimbursement early in development
New TechnologiesWe define a physiologic goal, then design the simplest way to accomplish it non-surgicallyTypically applying technologies which have become well-understood, versatile, and commercially available
This Trend Continues to Gain Momentum
