Portfolio overview

Incision

Incision is on a mission to accelerate safer surgery through smart tech and standardization globally. No matter the geography, patients deserve high-quality surgical care. Incision empowers medical teams from operating room ("OR") staff to sterile processing technicians to reduce errors, increase efficiency, and standardize excellence across hospitals worldwide.

Using technology to improve surgical care

Surgical outcomes vary wildly based on location, access to training, and consistency of execution. Errors, protocol drift, and fragmented workflows lead to unnecessary complications. Meanwhile, Sterile Processing Departments (“SPD”) operate under intense scrutiny and regulation yet often lack scalable, up-to-date training and tracking systems.

For Incision we track the following impact target:

➡️: The cumulative number of reductions in surgical complications

SDG Alignment

Unify surgical education with daily execution.

Founded in 2014 in Amsterdam by Prof. Theo Wiggers and a team of healthcare visionaries, Incision originally built Incision Academy, a rich library of 3D procedural videos, accredited courses, and role-based learning content for the OR.

Today, Incision pushes further, embedding knowledge where it matters, and in the clinical flow.

- Incision Assist turns static protocols into dynamic, surgeon-specific, case-ready guides. Teams access setup, materials, workflow, updates in one application, improving preparation, reducing variance, and speeding onboarding.
- Incision MySPD offers SPD staff a structured, continuously updated training and competency tracking platform, helping departments stay audit-ready and safe in practice.

Together, they unify surgical education with daily execution

Track record

Trusted by leading hospitals, healthcare systems and educational institutes globally (500K+ users in 30+ countries and at 350+ institutes)
Hospitals using Incision’s products report improvements in team alignment, case prep, and OR efficiency metrics (90% increase in staff knowledge, 40% reduction in error rates, $500K/year in cost reductions due to OR errors)
Incision has formed various partnerships with leading institutions such as Tanner Health and Caresyntax to combine real-time knowledge delivery with advanced performance analytics

We believe surgical care is a frontier where technology and education can literally save lives. Incision is not just creating content: it’s embedding decision intelligence in the OR and SPD departments. That’s a step-change. By enabling teams to do better, consistently, Incision helps reduce variation and accelerates safer surgical scaling in emerging and developed systems alike.
