Spatial Surgical LLC

Spatial Surgical LLC is a for-profit limited liability company based in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, that specializes in developing advanced medical technology solutions, particularly in the fields of surgical innovation and cell manufacturing. The company focuses on creating cutting-edge research and development technologies that address critical challenges in medical procedures, with a particular emphasis on laser-based surgical systems and cell culture technologies. Registered in SAM.gov since May 2018, the company has positioned itself as an innovative research and development entity working primarily with federal scientific agencies to advance medical technology.

Through federal contract awards, Spatial Surgical LLC has secured two significant Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts with the National Cancer Institute (NCI). These contracts, totaling $2,385,657, are focused on developing an integrated cell culture chamber and flow guide for point-of-care, walk-away operation of autologous T cell manufacturing. The contracts are designated as total small business set-asides, supporting the company's research into advanced cancer treatment technologies. The work involves developing sophisticated cell manufacturing technologies that can potentially improve treatment processes in low-resource settings, with a specific focus on creating innovative solutions for T cell manufacturing that could revolutionize cancer treatment approaches.

The company has also received a substantial federal grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the amount of $997,189 through a Cooperative Agreement. This grant, awarded under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program, supports the development of an all-tissue laser-based orthopedic surgery system. The project aims to create an integrated laser ablation and imaging system for distal extremity joint arthroplasty, utilizing advanced pulsed carbon dioxide laser technology. The research seeks to develop a single-handpiece device that can precisely cut bone and drill holes without thermal necrosis, with integrated cameras providing real-time 3D visualization. The broader impact of this research includes potentially reducing surgical time, improving surgical precision, and minimizing patient recovery periods for complex orthopedic procedures.
