ARTICLE SUMMARY:
MedTech Innovator and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons join forces on a curated accelerator track to introduce innovative technologies in a diverse and highly specialized surgical field.
In this latest installment of our series on MTI cohort companies, we explore plastic surgery, a broad umbrella arena that includes both reconstructive and aesthetic aspects of care. For the first time since the series began, this group is represented via a collaborative track with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a concerted effort between the accelerator and the medical society to find and support the most deserving innovations for the patients plastic surgeons help. The third such collaboration for the accelerator, plastic surgery joins MedTech Innovator’s clinically focused heart and brain health track, along with its military medicine track, with support from respective clinician organizations, to grow companies and advance engineering at critical stages. In addition to the profiles that follow of two companies from past cohorts, MedTech Strategist sits down with two members of ASPS to discuss the track program and its results so far (see sidebar, “Q&A With Bill Perry and Howie Levinson of ASPS”).
