What Safe Surgery does

Safe Surgery Perú is a Peruvian medical device distributor headquartered in the Magdalena district of Lima, founded circa 2020 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company distributes two international product lines in Peru: Reach Surgical instruments (endoscopic staplers, open surgery staplers, ultrasonic scissors, vessel sealing forceps, generators, and replacement cartridges) and the Allurion weight-loss program (a swallowable intragastric balloon made of vegan polyurethane paired with a connected smart scale and mobile app for remote patient monitoring). Its surgical portfolio serves surgeons across multiple specialties including oncology, colorectal, thoracic, bariatric, gynecological, and pediatric surgery.

The company holds three DIGEMID certifications — BPA (Good Storage Practices), BPDYT (Good Distribution and Transportation Practices), and BPM (Good Manufacturing Practices) — which authorize it to handle regulated medical devices in the Peruvian market. Go-to-market is structured around two distinct motions: an enterprise field-sales channel targeting hospitals and surgeons with Reach Surgical products across Lima and Provinces, and a hybrid model for Allurion that combines certified-doctor channels with direct-to-patient outreach via WhatsApp, medical events, and health fairs.

Safe Surgery's revenue model is primarily hardware distribution (medical device resale) combined with program fees from the Allurion weight-loss program distributed through certified medical professionals. Pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has no disclosed external funding, operates without a parent company, and is led by CEO Alejandra Guzman and Operations & Finance Manager Edwin Villegas. Key strategic relationships include distribution partnerships with Reach Surgical and Allurion, plus medical-community engagements with INEN (national cancer institute) and Clínica Aviva. The Allurion program received FDA approval in February 2026, validating the flagship non-surgical product under stringent US regulatory standards.
