another Canadian medtech with some parallels to
$PROF (Synaptive) has just emerged from bankruptcy, with some new investment and an unknown future. Much like
$PROF, they pioneered a new surgical tool with image-guidance. Like TulsaPro, the Synaptive exoscope was technically best in class. Like
$PROF, Synaptive struggled to place many systems. Like
$PROF, Synaptive was small and somewhat under-funded compared to the competition. To be clear, Synaptive made a certain mistake that
$PROF has not made. Perhaps two. But still, Synaptive was loaded to the gills with talent. It had seemed just a few years ago that their future was bright.
