Transforming Foot Surgery: New Clamp-and-Cinch System for Plantar Plate Repair | Joe Lin, Aesclepius

👣 Foot pain can be life-altering—especially when it's caused by plantar plate tears. Aesclepius Corporation is tackling this common yet under-treated condition with a new surgical tool that simplifies a notoriously difficult repair. 🎙️ Joe Lin, COO & Co-founder of Aesclepius, introduces a first-of-its-kind clamp-and-cinch system for plantar plate tear surgeries—designed to give surgeons: Better control in tight joint spaces Consistent drill guide alignment A novel curved suture loop that enables top-down repair of tissue at the bottom of the foot ⚙️ Why this matters: Plantar plate tears can cause chronic foot pain, deformity, and difficulty walking, but surgery is often avoided due to complexity and fear of complications. The Aesclepius tool eliminates the need for freehand drilling and offers a faster, more reliable repair technique—without scarring the bottom of the foot. 📈 The product is FDA cleared, fully manufactured, and already launched, entering a growing niche market often underdiagnosed or mismanaged. 🧠 Founded by two research buddies turned entrepreneurs, Aesclepius is now looking to scale and bring this solution to more operating rooms across the U.S. 📍 Pitched live at MedTech World Bay Area 2025
