Construction Engineer Mechanics - Suturion Lund

About the company

Suturion AB is a start up company based in Lund, Medicon Village. The company develops devices for the suturing market. Today, the abdominal cavity is closed by the surgeon working manually with a needle and thread. This could be relatively time consuming and cause unnecessary complications if the surgeon makes mistakes or does not follow general praxis. Complications that may occur are hernia, about 20% risk, and infections.

With their device Suturion strives to standardize this step in the surgical process to save time and money for both patients and healthcare professionals. Another positive outcome could be a reduction in the number of complications, which in many cases lead to a new operation. This standardization will primarily benefit the patient, but also the healthcare system with shorter operating times and lower total costs.

Currently there are two products; a Suturion tool and needle and suture to use with it. There are more products within the surgical area in the pre study phase.

The company is in an expansive phase where the product is to be finalized and the first clinical study on patients is planned accordingly.
