Mastering the Single Use Scope: the story of Xenocor

Today we are joined by Charles DeCoster, CEO, and Tony Watson, COO, of Xenocor, a company that is revolutionizing laparoscopic surgery with a new scope they call Saberscope. This device was designed to be less expensive, more effective at providing the surgeon with available light, and safer for the patient.   Laparoscopic surgery was invented in the 1980’s and the technology platform is now 30 years old. It has not changed dramatically since then. The single use model eliminates a lot of the frustrations. You open up the package, you plug it in. That’s the whole workflow. A reusable scope’s workflow, from the time it gets opened in the OR to the time it gets back to the OR to be used again, is quite onerous. By making it single use, they are reducing waste and simplifying the process.
