CORE ACCESS SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Core Access Surgical Technologies (CAST) is a US-based global medical device manufacturer specializing in innovative tools for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The company designs and distributes precision devices that enhance surgical access and visualization while reducing complications associated with peritoneal entry.
