Our Vision

Alesi Surgical develops and commercialises products that improve the safety, efficiency and outcomes of advanced surgical procedures.

The company was founded in 2009 as a spin-out from the Welsh Institute for Minimal Access Therapy (WIMAT) with the vision of becoming a world leader in surgical devices. Part of Cardiff University, WIMAT runs multi-disciplinary training courses across a range of surgical and medical specialities and is the busiest multi-disciplinary training centre in the United Kingdom.

The vision is founded on three pillars:

• Innovation that drives better patient care, improves surgical efficiency, and meets the needs of surgeons and operating theatre staff.
• Product development that exceeds industry standards in robustness and rigour.
• Commercialisation that creates value for our customers, partners, distributors and investors.

Alesi Surgical and WIMAT are co-located and collaborate on research and development, testing, product design, pre-clinical evaluation and post-market clinical follow-up.

This provides a unique level of access to experienced surgeons, surgical trainers and trainees, and delivers:

• Foresight on issues that affect surgical performance and outcomes
• Perspective on the compatibility of new technologies with existing techniques and instrumentation
• Insight on the training needed for the successful adoption of new products
