Intra-Operative Tissue Pathology

Client

BlackLight Surgical

Challenges

Triple Ring Technologies was tasked with designing, integrating, testing, and delivering an innovative high-speed laser-based intra-operative biochemical imaging platform. The system leveraged picosecond pulsing laser technology for intra-operative tissue analysis. A user-centric design and workflow facilitated by machine learning successfully enabled real-time clinical decision making in the surgery suite.

 

Outcomes

Through Triple Ring’s proven product design and development process, Blacklight Surgical’s breakthrough imaging platform was built and delivered to support critical clinical studies. The system was designed to ISO13485 standards and fully documented within a Quality Management System (QMS) established by Triple Ring and transferred to Black Light Surgical.

Background

BlackLight Surgical has harnessed the principles of Time-Resolved Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopyto innovate within intra-operative pathology workflows. Collaborating with Triple Ring, they have created a new biochemical imaging platform that identifies margins between normal and disease tissues inside the surgical suite, in real-time, without labels. With our full teams of scientists, engineers, designers, and assembly technicians, Triple Ring was ideally suited to translate Blackight Surgical’s breakthrough technology to the clinic.
