Xaga Surgical

Xaga Surgical’s mission is to minimize the risk of infections by inventing safer medical needles. Our needles focus on the very core of infection prevention: reducing bacterial transmission into the body. Widespread antibiotic resistance means that novel approaches for infection prevention are desperately needed. We develop patented and patent pending medical needles designed for a wide range of situations where there is a risk of infection. For example, prostate cancer is diagnosed using a biopsy needle. Up to 3% of biopsy procedures lead to sepsis, a life-threating infection, and this number is on the rise. The infection is caused by bacteria brought into the body by the biopsy needle. Our biopsy needle design reduces the bacterial transmission by 96%.
