SafeHeal

SafeHeal is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative devices to enhance postoperative care for patients undergoing treatment for colorectal cancer. The company has created a flexible bypass sheath that employs a vacuum-based mechanism, which remains in place until the body's natural healing processes are complete. This device is specifically designed to protect gastrointestinal anastomosis, thereby improving the quality of life for patients during recovery. SafeHeal was established by MD Start, a medtech accelerator, and is backed by funding from MD Start and Sofinnova Partners. The company has received several accolades for its innovation, including recognition in the Worldwide Innovation Challenge and the iLab grant program, as well as being named the most promising MedTech startup at Biovision 2016 and a finalist in the global Medtech Innovator competition. Additionally, SafeHeal was awarded the Charles Foix grant for its contributions to enhancing the quality of life for elderly individuals.
