Welcome!
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery, there are currently ~25,000 active orthopedic surgeons in the United States. These surgeons perform thousands of arthroscopic surgeries involving the knees, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. A bone shaver, a device used to cut tissue/bone and remove loose fragments, is used in these minimally invasive surgeries. However, prolonged use of bone shavers leads to many complications such as finger pain/cramps, emergence of musculoskeletal disorders, surgical error, and patient risk. Our mission is to build a bone shaver that is ergonomically designed for orthopedic surgeons in an effort to reduce muscle fatigue, decrease surgical error, reduce patient risk, and improve the efficiency of minimally invasive surgeries.
