- Invuity, Inc. develops and manufactures advanced medical surgical devices focused on enhanced visualization for surgical procedures. The company produces a range of products including single-use and reusable illuminated surgical devices such as soft tissue retractors, retractor systems, and lighting systems that employ intelligent photonics technology. These devices are designed to improve surgical precision and efficiency by providing illumination and direct visualization within surgical cavities, serving specialties including orthopedics, spine surgery, general surgery, and women's health. Invuity primarily operates in the United States and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with its origins dating back to 2004.
The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, following its acquisition by Stryker in 2018 for approximately $190 million. This acquisition allowed Invuity to leverage Stryker's sales and marketing infrastructure while continuing to develop and commercialize its portfolio of advanced photonics and single-use lighted instruments. Recent product innovations include enhancements to their illuminated retractor systems, such as the Eikon LT platform featuring atraumatic tissue grip, which expands the usability and safety profile of their devices in various surgical applications. Invuity continues to focus on growth and expanding commercial reach under Stryker's strategic framework, maintaining a strong emphasis on innovation in surgical visualization technology.
