Driving breakthroughs in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery

In partnership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons

The Plastic Surgery Accelerator Track focuses on advancing medical technologies that benefit both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery patients. In partnership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the track emphasizes innovations that can address diverse areas within plastic surgery—from tissue engineering and biomaterials, to novel wound and scar healing techniques, to robotics, medical implants and digital products. By supporting developments in these areas, the track seeks to improve surgical outcomes, enhance patient safety, and optimize recovery times. Through ASPS collaboration, participating startups gain access to industry expertise, clinical insights, and pathways to reach plastic surgery professionals and patients who can benefit from these solutions.
