Galway, Ireland
Nua Surgical is a Galway-based medical-device company developing instruments for obstetric and gynecological surgery. Its SteriCISION C-Section Retractor is a patented, single-use, self-retaining device designed to improve surgical access and visibility during Caesarean delivery and reduce the need for manual retraction. In October 2026, the company reported completion of a first-in-woman investigation in five patients in Panama and plans for further US clinical investigations. SteriCISION remains investigational, with no FDA or other marketing authorization; its safety and effectiveness have not been established.
