2024 SharkTank Participants
- Fios Health
Dr. Charles Lawrie will showcase how Fios Health is revolutionizing the way orthopedic practices operate by automating patient management and office admin tasks. This innovation lets surgeons focus on what truly matters—their patients.
Orthopedic practices face mounting pressures from dwindling reimbursements and scarce resources. Dr. Lawrie will demonstrate how Fios Health's AI-powered digital office workforce, tailored to surgeon-specific protocols, can streamline patient interactions, boosting efficiency and slashing costs. - Insurgical
Pete Aman (President and CEO of Insurgical Powered Instruments) and Dr. Alexander Sah will share how INSURGICAL Powered Instruments is reimagining how orthopedic power tools are made and delivered, bringing unparalleled levels of efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness to the OR. The unique Tools as a Service™ (TaaS) offers exceptional performance while eliminating many of the complications and costs found with traditional power tools. The tools feature world-class power and come pre-tested, sterilized, and ready to go.
- LumeNXT
Dr. Scott True and CEO Chris Doody will co-present the new LumeNXT lighted retractor accessory device platform. This novel platform, with its disposable and cordless solutions, delivers bright and focused illumination for small incisions and deep cavities, reducing surgical risk and increasing surgeon confidence.
- Polaris
Paul Mikus and Dr. Sam Vojdani will present the PolarisAR mixed reality platform for total joint procedures.
The platform leverages the capabilities of the technology as a spatial computing tool rather than just a holographic display. This approach makes it possible to measure, plan and guide total joint procedures with submillimeter tracking accuracy. The result is an imageless workflow that is agnostic to implant and allows for dynamic planning and adjustment intraoperatively in real time. - Turbett Surgical
Rob Turbett and Dr. Brian McGrath will present a solution designed to relieve some of repetitive chores that burden the surgical process.
The Turbett Instrument Pod holds up to 15 trays for sterilization and operating room setup. It enables room set up by a single person in just a few minutes. This is a dramatic improvement over the current 2 person, 20 minute process. This results in the potential for additional surgeries per day, increased surgical revenue, eased staff workload, more accurate instrument processing, and increased surgical tray turns.

Sharktank past winners
AHF2023 Shark Tank Winner
Douglas Fairbanks beat the sharks at the #AHF2023 Ortho Sharktank.
He impressed with Advanced Scanners [now VISIE] and the platform’s potential to enable robotic, AR/VR, and Surgical Navigation Systems.
The current Advanced Scanners device replaces the trace of hundreds of arduously collected points with a scan that gathers ~1,000,000 points in a fraction of a second.
Additionally, the device can be used to check calibration at any point in the case AND re-register the anatomy when needed.
AHF2022 Shark Tank Winner
Kristoff Corten beat the #AHF2022 SharkTank and earned some serious bragging rights with an entertaining presentation that clearly highlighted the benefits of the MedEnvision Esy Solution
