Amend Surgical
Private Company
Total funding raised: $38.5M
Overview
Amend Surgical is a clinical-stage medical device company pioneering novel adhesive and barrier technologies for regenerative medicine and surgical applications. Its core platform leverages biocompatible hydrogel and chitosan-based formulations to create strong, lasting adhesion in wet, mechanically demanding environments like the oral cavity and peripheral nerves. While its NanoFUSE implant is commercially available for bone fusion, the company's near-term focus is advancing its pre-market products, Amend Tissue Tape for oral wound care and Tissure for suture-less nerve repair, through regulatory milestones and eventual launch. The company is backed by founder/family equity and non-dilutive grants, operating from its base in Alachua, Florida.
