The Future of Surgical Logistics Starts Here

Scalpel is building the infrastructure for Connected Surgical Intelligence. Where every tray is tracked, every step is validated, and every stakeholder stays in sync.

From Guesswork to Intelligence

The Old Way
Manual checks & tribal knowledge
Double-checking every tray by hand
Error-Prone
Burnout, stress, and slow output
The Scalpel Way
AI-guided inspection and validation
Verified accuracy in seconds
99.9% accuracy every time
Calm, confident, and scalable workflows

Right Instruments.
Right Time.
Right Place.

Traditional double-checks don’t erase doubt. Technicians at OEMs, 3PLs, and SPDs in hospitals and ASCs feel constant pressure to assemble trays accurately and fast. Scalpel AI uses machine vision to guide and validate every step of tray inspection from warehouse to the SPD and the operating room.

Tray Validation, Reinvented

Forget the paper checklists and rushed double-checks. Scalpel uses machine vision to instantly validate tray contents.

Built-In Expertise

Step-by-step visual instructions help technicians inspect the right way, every time, whether they’ve been on the job 10 days or 10 years.

A Digital Paper Trail

Scalpel creates a complete digital fingerprint for every tray.  No more gaps. No more guesswork. Just traceable, auditable confidence.

Proven Results: GMLx + Scalpel AI

GMLx, a leading healthcare 3PL focused on orthopaedic and spine instrument logistics, partnered with Scalpel AI to evaluate the impact of AI-powered validation and tracking on tray efficiency.

Over three months, GMLx ran 10,000+ joint reconstruction trays through Scalpel—tracking speed, accuracy, and traceability at scale.

The result? A smarter, faster, and more accountable approach to surgical tray management.

Machine vision validation and digital traceability ensure every tray ships right every time.

For Hospitals & ASCs

AI-guided inspection catches errors instantly and builds confidence before anything leaves SPD.

FAQs

How does Scalpel AI work?

Scalpel uses AI, machine vision, and digital twins to inspect surgical trays with expert-level precision. It overlays instrument-level data directly onto the tray view, guiding technicians through the inspection process in real time. Once a tray is validated, that data doesn’t stay stuck, it moves with the tray, connecting OEMs, 3PLs, hospitals, and ASCs into one intelligent, coordinated workflow.

What types of surgical trays do you support?

We currently specialize fixed instrument graphic trays, the kind you commonly see in orthopedics, spine, and other high-precision specialties. These trays are complex, frequently used, and critical to get right. That’s where Scalpel delivers the most impact.

Does Scalpel integrate with our existing ERP or instrument tracking system?

Yes. Scalpel is designed to seamlessly integrate with popular instrument tracking systems and ERP platforms. We pull and push data to keep your records in sync. No duplicate entry, no siloed systems.

What kind of hardware or equipment is required?

Scalpel provides everything you need: our machine vision platform, dedicated Scalpel CPUs, and setup support. All you need is a stable workstation, power, and an internet connection. No complex installs. No custom IT buildout. Just plug in and start inspecting.

Is Scalpel cloud-based or on-premise?

Both, Scalpel is a cloud-based platform that has the ability to be installed on-premise if required.

What kind of data does Scalpel capture, and how is it stored?

Every inspection creates a digital footprint: who assembled the tray, when, where, and what was validated.That data is securely stored and fully auditable—giving you traceability, accountability, and peace of mind, all by design. We follow best practices in data security and compliance.
