Alesi Surgical
Private Company
Total funding raised: $2.5M
Overview
Alesi Surgical is a private, commercial-stage medical device company addressing the critical problem of surgical smoke in operating rooms. Its core innovation, the Ultravision system, utilizes electrostatic precipitation to eliminate smoke at the source, differentiating it from traditional evacuation systems. The company offers two main product lines: the Ultravision2 for laparoscopic surgery and the IonPencil for open surgery. It is positioned to capitalize on accelerating regulatory mandates in the U.S. and growing awareness of surgical smoke hazards globally.
Technology Platform
Electrostatic precipitation (ESP) system for in-vivo elimination of surgical smoke. Comprises a generator and disposable/reusable components (Ionwand for laparoscopy, IonPencil for open surgery) that charge and capture smoke particles at the source.

Competitive Landscape
Competes against traditional smoke evacuators (e.g., Stryker, CONMED, Buffalo Filter) that use suction/filtration, which Alesi claims are 23x less effective. Also competes with integrated filtration systems in laparoscopic insufflators. Key differentiation is Alesi's active elimination at source, CO2-sparing benefit, and ergonomic design (particularly the IonPencil).
