About LightLine Medical
LightLine Medical is a private, pre-revenue medical device startup founded in 2019, based in San Francisco. The company has developed a patented photodisinfection platform that uses visible light to disinfect the interior and exterior of translucent catheters, aiming to prevent deadly and costly device-associated infections. Its initial focus is on peritoneal dialysis catheters, Foley catheters, endotracheal tubes, and central/PICC lines, addressing a multi-billion dollar problem of hospital-acquired infections. The technology represents a non-antibiotic, non-UV approach to combating drug-resistant microbes.
