Why This Quarter Matters
Across healthcare systems, the shift from theatres to outpatient care is accelerating, freeing capacity, improving patient experience, and lowering costs. This quarter, Spirecut advanced that movement: incision-free, ultrasound-guided hand surgery (for Carpal Tunnel and Trigger Finger) transitioned from pilots to structured pathways, training, and adoption frameworks.
August Clinical Pathways for Outcomes
NHS Wales first: Wrexham Maelor Hospital began offering ultrasound-guided CTR in the outpatient setting, reducing theatre load, speeding recovery, and cutting costs.
Erasme Brussels exchange: Glasgow and Kraków teams trained with Profs. Schuind & Moungondo on standardised protocols and outcome tracking.
Community presence: Shared learnings at Medtech Innovation Event (MIE25) in Biel/Bienne.
Partner highlights:
Curmed (CH): 100+ procedures milestone at Clinique de la Main Genève.
Sovereign Medical (UK): Expanded outpatient pathways via simulation-led learning.
Takeaway: Strong pathways start with built-in governance, training, and data capture.
September International Expansion
Germany launch: Partnership with iROC GmbH near Munich, performing incision-free CTS and Trigger Finger releases.
APFSSH 2025 (Mumbai): Prof. Schuind engaged APAC surgeons in structured training.
UK rollout: From “Super Sono Saturdays” to department-level implementation at Wrightington, Shrewsbury & Telford, James Cook, and more.
Capital collaboration: On stage with BSCC, connecting Swiss and UK innovators.
Takeaway: Expansion works when innovation pairs with local champions and training engines.
October Visibility, Training & Governance
DGH Congress (Würzburg): iROC showcased Spirecut to Germany’s hand-surgery community.
UK training days: Focused on phantom scanning, governance, and live cases.
Patient story: Bilateral CTS resolved under local anaesthesia only—quick recovery, minimal disruption.
Team growth: Nihat Karaoglu joined as Executive Director to steer US entry and Series A.
Home base: Colab Fribourg spotlighted Spirecut’s global rise.
Takeaway: Visibility drives impact when tied to training, governance, and patient value.
What’s Next (Nov–Jan)
Medica (Düsseldorf, Nov 17–20): Implementation playbooks and economic calculators on-site.
Lyon Ultrasound Course (Dec 16–17): Hand & wrist ultrasound masterclass.
Wrightington Masterclass (Jan 8–9): Ultrasound-guided techniques with Prof. Moungondo.
Join us at Medica to explore pathways, workflow redesign, and cost-of-care models.
