Through a licensing agreement coordinated by Harvard’s Office of Technology Development (OTD), Amend Surgical had been granted exclusive rights to initiate the development of the technology for applications within the field of oral surgery. The company aims to redefine the current standard of care, which often requires painful and irritating sutures to be placed by the clinician in the tight, difficult-to-access oral cavity.
