BOSTON — December 6, 2021 — Activ Surgical, Inc., a digital surgery pioneer, today announced
that it has been named the “Inno on Fire Blazer” in the Health and Medtech
category as part of BostInno’s 2021 Inno on Fire Awards. The annual awards
program recognizes top companies across eight categories and includes a ranking
of the top 50 startups, people and nonprofit organizations (NPO) that are
making impressive innovation strides in the Greater Boston region.
Activ Surgical is a digital surgery imaging
startup that is developing surgical intelligence hardware and software that
exists within a class by itself. The company focuses on enhanced, real-time
visualization capabilities for surgeons that combines advanced augmented
reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML)
technology. The company’s technology will enable surgeons to view critical
physiological structures and functions, like blood flow, that cannot be seen
with the naked eye while in the operating room. Activ Surgical’s goal is to
empower surgeons’ decision making during a surgery to ultimately enhance
patient safety.
“We want to congratulate this year’s Inno

Surgical,” said Carolyn Jones, market president and publisher of BostInno. “We
also want to thank our staff and the venture investors and entrepreneurs in the
community who helped us make this year’s selections.”

growth and momentum in 2021, including the FDA clearance of our ActivSightTM
interoperable imaging module, introduction of our ActivInsightsTM software
suite, a $45M Series B fundraise and the completion of our first in-human
clinical trials,” said Todd Usen, chief executive officer, Activ Surgical.
