Q Surgical

What Q Surgical does

Q Surgical is a privately held medical device distribution company headquartered in Sausalito, California, founded in 2009. The company operates as a regional intermediary connecting healthcare institutions and clinicians with leading medical device manufacturers, serving a defined territory from Northern California to Reno, Nevada. With 11-50 employees, Q Surgical functions as a focused specialty distributor rather than a broad-line medtech supplier.

The company's product portfolio spans three primary categories: ACCESS (specialty surgical instruments, single-use instruments, bipolar forceps, high-speed drill systems, ultrasonic aspirators, ultrasonic bone dissection, and retraction devices for neuro cranial, ortho spine, and minimally invasive surgery applications), VISION (surgical headlights, retractor illumination, surgical microscopy, 3D visualization, infrared fluorescent imaging, HD/4K/3D imaging and recording, and neuroendoscopy), and TREATMENT (electrosurgery, brain brachytherapy, ossicular chain reconstruction, titanium aneurysm clips, and cranial plating systems). These products are sourced from third-party manufacturers rather than developed in-house; Q Surgical does not hold disclosed patents or proprietary technology.

Q Surgical generates revenue through hardware sales to healthcare institutions and clinicians on a quote-based B2B model with publicly undisclosed pricing. The go-to-market approach relies on a direct field sales team engaging healthcare providers consultatively within the Northern California to Reno territory. There are no publicly disclosed funding rounds, no investor information, no parent company, and no revenue figures. The company maintains a basic website presence and appears to rely on direct relationships rather than extensive digital marketing channels.
