Marion Surgical

Welcome to Marion Surgical, where we're transforming the way surgeons train for complex procedures. Our focus is on harnessing the power of virtual and augmented reality with haptics (touch) to create a realistic, interactive training environment for minimally invasive and robotic surgery. This approach not only enhances the learning experience but also improves patient outcomes by sharpening surgeons' skills. Our team, comprised of experts in medical technology, software development, and education, has already made significant strides. We've secured a Phase 1 AFWERX contract, an acknowledgment of our potential to make a substantial impact in surgical training. Additionally, we hold exclusive rights to a sell and further develop a patented technology to the DOD. Our vision is to become a key player in the field of medical education, providing tools that enable surgeons around the world to practice and perfect their craft without risk.We're not just creating products; we're building a new standard in surgical training.We invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can contribute to the advancement of medical education and ultimately, improve the quality of healthcare globally. 5% of our fundraise is planned to go to sending a simulator as part of a training mission initiative in Savanna La Mar Jamaica. According to the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, up to 5 billion people around the world do not have access to adequate surgical care. The Lancet Commission report in 2015 estimated that more people die as a result of inadequate access to surgical care than malaria, TB and HIV combined.
