Minimally Invasive Surgery in North Carolina

Deep Blue Medical Advances develops next-generation surgical devices focused on soft tissue surgery and hernia repair. The company's core portfolio includes the T-Line® Hernia Mesh, a novel mesh system designed to address common failure modes in hernia repair, particularly suture pull-through and tissue dehiscence. The T-Line® Hernia Mesh is currently in use in surgical suites across the United States and targets the $1.1 billion global hernia device market. The company is also developing the T-Line® TCS (Tissue Control Suture) for general soft tissue procedures, intended to improve procedure speed, safety, and durability while reducing patient pain from tissue trauma. Additional products under development include the T-Line® Scaffold for breast surgery applications and an Anchor Clip for simplified mesh implantation. The company offers both investigational and commercial-stage devices and is pursuing variants including biosynthetic and coated composite versions of their hernia mesh platform. Deep Blue has been recognized with the 2024 Luis Villalobos Award for Innovative Company of the Year in Life Sciences, indicating clinical and market validation of their surgical technology approach.

TrackX Technology is a medical device manufacturer specializing in universal instrument tracking technology for surgical applications, particularly orthopedic and trauma procedures. The company's core product, TrackX, provides real-time virtual live fluoroscopy during surgery using disposable tracking components (TrackX Snap) that attach to surgical instruments and implants. The system recalibrates with each new x-ray, eliminating the need for bulky equipment or capital purchases. Key clinical benefits include significant radiation dose reduction (91.8% reduction in radiation exposure), substantial reduction in x-ray frequency (74.8% fewer x-rays required), and meaningful OR time savings (average 56-minute reduction per procedure). The three-step setup process—apply Snap, take x-ray, track in real-time—simplifies adoption and reduces sterilization burdens. Designed for surgeons, hospital executives, and surgical teams seeking efficiency and safety improvements in minimally invasive and open surgical procedures.
