Company profile

About Activ Surgical

Activ Surgical is a surgical intelligence company that has developed the only commercially available dye-free perfusion imaging technology for the operating room. Using patented laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI), Activ reveals blood flow, tissue perfusion, and critical structures directly from tissue in real time, without requiring injected dyes like ICG fluorescence. The technology is physics-based, quantitative, and repeatable, providing surgeons with continuous perfusion assessment throughout procedures rather than time-limited snapshots. The company's ActivSight Intelligent Light system is FDA-cleared and CE-marked, and has been used in over 2,000 surgical cases across 17+ countries. Activ's technology integrates into multiple surgical platforms including robotic surgery systems, laparoscopic equipment, microscopy/exoscopy platforms, and open surgery settings. The company serves both surgeons directly and partners with surgical platform manufacturers and OEMs to integrate intelligence capabilities into their systems. Activ Surgical's approach addresses a critical limitation in surgery: surgeons make life-critical decisions based on what they can see, but blood flow and tissue viability beneath the surface remain invisible until complications occur. By providing continuous, on-demand perfusion intelligence, the technology enables surgeons to adjust surgical plans in real time—occurring in approximately 20% of cases where the technology is used. Clinical evidence demonstrates significant outcomes including reduced anastomotic leak rates in colorectal surgery and decreased unnecessary tissue removal.
