Strauss Surgical

What Strauss Surgical does

Strauss Surgical is a privately held medical device manufacturer headquartered in Miami, Florida, that designs, produces, and sells electrosurgical resection systems and endoscopic surgical instruments across three specialties: urology, hysteroscopy, and arthroscopy. The company's flagship offering is a bipolar resection system for prostate and bladder resection, which it positions as the first major innovation in this product category in over a decade. Core technologies include a high-flow resection sheath with a ceramic beak featuring 360-degree perforations delivering 30 percent better irrigation flow, an integrated all-in-one cable/electrode solution that eliminates the cost and liability of reusable power cables, and Ultra High Definition cystoscopes for procedural visualization. The firm also manufactures laser-welded HD endoscopes and a broader instrument portfolio spanning semi-rigid ureteroscopes, DVIU/urethrotomy tools, hysteroscopes and diagnostic/operative sets, arthroscopes, knee instruments, and suture passers, supported by ISO 13485:2016 quality system certification.

The business operates a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market motion, engaging urologists and healthcare facilities through website contact forms that capture facility details, titles, current instrumentation, and product interest. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of capital surgical equipment, consumables, accessories, and OEM service and repair contracts. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract structures, and the company emphasizes compatibility of its working elements with existing instrument sets to minimize transition costs for adopting facilities. Founded in 2023 under founder and CEO Charlie Bourland, the firm maintains a team of 1-10 employees, has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or partnership activity, and operates as a domestic-only, single-country entity with no M&A or funding history disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Medical Device Hardware Sales: Strauss Surgical generates revenue through the sale of medical surgical devices including bipolar resection systems, cystoscopes, high-flow sheaths, and related accessories. The revenue model is based on one-time hardware purchases for surgical equipment used in urology procedures. Given the capital equipment nature of the products and the emphasis on compatibility with existing instrument sets, the company likely also generates revenue through replacement parts, accessories, and service/repair offerings.
