Hubly Surgical

Hubly Surgical is a private, commercial-stage medical device company based in San Francisco, founded in 2019. The company has developed and received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Hubly Drill, a single-use, cordless cranial access system featuring an auto-stop mechanism and force indicator to prevent over-plunge, thereby enhancing procedural safety. Targeting the placement of external ventricular drains (EVDs) and other bedside cranial procedures, the system aims to reduce complications, increase efficiency, and decrease costly operating room dependence. The company is led by a team of neurosurgeons and experienced medical device engineers and has begun generating revenue through product sales.

Single-use, cordless drill platform with auto-stop mechanism, LED force indicator, and specialized drill bit geometry designed to prevent over-penetration during bone drilling procedures.

Competes against traditional manual tools (hand-crank drills) and reusable powered drills from large medtech companies, which lack dedicated safety features for cranial plunge prevention. In spine, will compete against established power tools from giants like Medtronic and Stryker, competing on safety and precision rather than pure power.
