Tesa | Sean Cogan

While navigation and robotics are transforming total joint and spine surgeries, sports medicine largely relies on manual techniques and "feel". In this episode of the MedTech Jam Session, Mike and Chris are joined by Sean Cogan, CEO of Tessa Medical, joining from Sydney, Australia, to discuss how his company is changing the paradigm in ligament reconstruction. Sean explains that while surgeons meticulously measure graft diameter and tunnel length during an ACL reconstruction, the actual tensioning of the graft is still done entirely by feel. Tesa Medical has developed an agnostic, hands-free device that allows surgeons to dial in precise tension, eliminating the guesswork and physical fatigue of manual pulling.
