Medical Device Development 

Medical Device Investing 

From Genesis to Execution

Genesis is an early-stage investor in medical device technology. We are differentiated through our deep level of engagement in delivering value through all stages of the commercialization process.

This is accomplished by leveraging the time, talent, and financial resources of the Genesis Innovation Group Portfolio.

This is where we find and create the concepts that represent the beginnings of solutions to unsolved problems.

Through the smart deployment of talent and resources, we confirm or query whether further investment is a great opportunity.

Shoulder Innovations

Shoulder Innovations

Most problems with shoulder replacement surgery are driven by the fact that the glenoid sits on top of the bony surface. The InSet™ Glenoid addresses those issues.
sentiar cultivate(MD)

sentiar

At SentiAR, our holographic, Augmented Reality (AR) technology provides physicians with a single source of truth during interventional procedures – giving them a real-time, interactive, 360-degree view of the treatment they’re delivering.
spintech mri genesis

SpinTech

SpinTech has developed a suite of software that offers innovative advancements for brain scan MRIs.
NSite Medical Genesis

NSite

After having validated the use of widely available 3D scanners as a clinical tool for diagnosis and management of orthopedic applications, we have developed an AI algorithm to improve scoliosis diagnosis and management both remotely and in-person. NSite can quantitively assess body asymmetry by measuring the difference in spatial relationships between anatomic landmarks and improve on the standard assessment. To achieve this, our technology uses a 3D representation of deformity that incorporates the altered soft tissue envelop using portable, radiation-free technology.

Our mission is to significantly improve access to scoliosis screening while saving cost for all stakeholders.

gsi genesis

Genesis Software Innovations

PreView™ allows you to visualize all of the details you need to see in 3D using CT data. You can completely plan the procedure down to the most minute details and have a very clear idea of what you might face during the procedure.
Our mission is to significantly improve access to scoliosis screening while saving cost for all stakeholders.
happe spine genesis

HAPPE Ortho

Hydroxyapatite Porous PEEK (HAPPE), when fabricated through our proprietary technology, provides for the optimal mechanical properties of PEEK polymer materials, while providing improved surface texture inviting boney engagement, interconnected porosity for long term fixation, and the bioactive properties of HA to provide an effective construct for bone ingrowth. The HA further improves mechanical properties compared to standard PEEK, and all together, optimizes imaging for post-operative diagnosis.
mdc genesis

Magnesium Development

Our technology is a breakthrough magnesium (Mg) alloy technology It combines the strength and handling properties of metal with complete absorption.

Mg is a common element in the body and breaks down through a natural degradation process as it is absorbed and is removed from the body (more natural compared to hydrolysis of biocomposite / similar materials). Mg allows for many engineering advantages due to its high strength.

This exclusive and proprietary magnesium technology provides optimal characteristics not found in existing soft tissue fixation devices, including high strength, controlled absorption, while promoting regrowth of host tissue. The method of manufacturing provides mechanical strength at least 2X that of PEEK, a well-known performance polymer used in similar indications.

Virtual Incision genesis

Virtual Incision

Virtual Incision is reimagining surgical robotics, with simple innovations offering mobility, flexibility, and accessibility to provide minimally invasive options to more patients. The company is developing the MIRA (“miniaturized in vivo robotic assistant”) Surgical Robotic Platform, a first-of-its-kind miniaturized surgical robot, focusing first on colon resection, with follow-on specialty robots for additional potential applications like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, antireflux surgery, splenectomy, adrenalectomy, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, hysterectomy, and hepato-pancreato-biliary procedures.
strados genesis

Strados

The Strados RESP provides remote patient access by unlocking lung sound data and putting it into the hands of the entire clinical team via the cloud.
embody genesis

Embody

Embody, Inc., is a regenerative medicine company focused on the development and commercialization of implantable medical devices to address the unmet demands in soft tissue restoration and regeneration. Leveraging our expertise in biomaterial design, biofabrication, nanotechnology, and medical devices, we are engineering implantable devices that will disrupt and significantly improve patient outcomes in soft tissue surgical applications.
medical ingenuities genesis

Medical Ingenuities

The PH Band System removes the guesswork from radial artery closure. It provides the user with real-time Doppler feedback to audibly detect antegrade flow past the compression point, signifying that the radial artery is patent. By validating patent hemostasis at application, there is no need for frequent pressure adjustments.
sterile processing express cultivate(MD)

Sterile Processing Express

Our solution expands the revenue capacity of any surgical facility. We provide the sterile processing and logistic support that unlocks the potential to do multiple total joints in your ASC. We deliver sterile vendor trays ready for patient care and pick up those same trays post-procedure for processing in our modern purpose-built sterilization facility. Our information system will make the process look like it is happening in your own department.
safkan genesis

“After being here (2019 The State of Spine Surgery Think Tank) I’m even more glad to have partnered with Genesis. Your connections, experience, and overall perspective is perfect.”

Dr. Ryan RoederFounder and Inventor - HAPPE Spine

“One of the best compliments I can say about Genesis is they have done every aspect of medical startup business, and succeeded at it, multiple times. Their professionalism throughout the vetting process was so far superior to any other group we had worked with. Genesis’ unique approach to investing comes from wearing every hat in the process, allowing them to know exactly where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. It has been a pleasure working with them.”
