ClearSpec

What ClearSpec does

ClearSpec is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, founded in 2011. The company has built its identity around a "Multi-Planar Tissue Retraction" device — a surgical instrument intended to hold back tissue along multiple planes during operative procedures. Its operating footprint is small, with reported headcount in the 1–10 range, and its public web presence was inaccessible at the time of data collection, limiting visibility into detailed product specifications, regulatory status, and commercial traction.

Capitalization to date is modest and concentrated: ClearSpec has raised approximately $600,111 across two disclosed financings — a $350,000 round on 2013-04-15 and a $250,111 round on 2015-06-03 — both sourced from the Florida Institute for the Commercialization of Florida Technology, a state-funded commercialization vehicle. The company is founder-led, with Navroze Mehta serving as founder and CEO and Suzanne Mair Lee as VP of Operations, suggesting an early-stage operating structure oriented toward product development and early commercial execution.

The revenue model and go-to-market are not articulated in the supplied data: there is no disclosed pricing, no channel information, no named customer or distributor references, and no segment breakdown. Inferred from the device category and Florida-based early-stage funding profile, ClearSpec most likely monetizes through direct or distributor sales of a Class I/II surgical instrument to hospitals and surgical centers, but this cannot be verified from the input.

• Integra LifeSciences: Integra LifeSciences is a large diversified medical device company with a dedicated surgical instruments and retraction portfolio (including the Integra and Jarit brands). It competes in the same hospital/OR purchasing channel as ClearSpec but operates across many other categories.
• Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD): BD's surgical instrumentation business (including the V. Mueller brand) sells a comprehensive line of surgical instruments and retractors. It is a broad incumbent with established hospital sales coverage that competes in the same surgical retraction category.
• Stryker: Stryker is a large diversified medical device company with a surgical instruments and equipment portfolio that competes in the OR for retraction, exposure, and instrument business. It is a broad incumbent rather than a direct niche competitor.

Direct peers

• Symmetry Surgical: Symmetry Surgical (formerly Codman surgical instruments, now part of Aspen Surgical/ICONIQ) is a specialist manufacturer of surgical instruments including a broad line of retractors, forceps, and clamps. It is the closest direct competitor to ClearSpec's tissue retraction device category.
