Reinventing Surgical Pedals Control

A wireless, wearable, gesture-based interface for controlling surgical devices — without floor pedals, clutter, or missteps.

Wearable foot controller

The Problem

Surgical foot pedals are hidden, floor-bound, and error-prone. Surgeons routinely activate the wrong device, lose pedal contact, and experience fatigue—introducing unnecessary risk into the OR.

91%

Lost contact with the correct pedal

The Solution

A first-in-class wearable foot controller that translates intuitive gestures into wireless actuation of existing surgical pedals.

Wearable Control

IMU-based gesture recognition replaces floor pedals entirely.

Platform-Agnostic

Works with existing Medtronic, Stryker, Olympus, and Ethicon systems.

Real-Time Feedback

Visual and haptic confirmation for every command.

Technology

Our architecture decouples user input from pedal actuation, enabling rapid learning, low latency, and robust safety.

Market Opportunity

Over 400,000 operating rooms worldwide rely on outdated pedal systems. Wearable Surgery consolidates multiple devices into a single intelligent interface.
