Neptune Medical is a venture capital funded medical device start-up, located in the Silicon Valley town of Burlingame. We develop, manufacture, and commercialize high-volume, high clinical utility medical devices initially commercialized for gastroenterology, see our website below. Our patent-pending technology is foundational and will have a broad impact across multiple additional clinical areas, including including GI, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neuro. Our Triton Medical Robotics division is developing flexible robotic systems that address enormous unmet needs across multiple major medical indications.

Our products incorporate unique Dynamic Rigidization™ technology that instantly toggles thin-walled tubes- such as overtubes, catheters or cannulae - between flexible and rigid states. This novel technology creates unprecedented opportunities for significantly enhanced access and control deep within the body.

Neptune Medical currently has ~50 full time employees across all divisions, including a core team of serially successful medical device entrepreneurs. The company has raised over $30M in capital from a diversified investor base, including venture capital, private equity, and industry insider and clinician angel investors.
