The startup helps surgeons to prepare for important operations with 3D printed models or virtual reality. They even help to 3d print assistance tools to help the surgeons with their job.

They are currently helping surgeons with the preparation of reconstructive surgeries, like the reconstruction of faces after car accidents.

For research projects, they are 3d printing what they call ā€œsurgical guidesā€. For example, these guides help to guide the drill of the surgeon to drill at the right point and depth during surgery.

Ā 

We are focusing on models for pre-operation. Our models will right now not end up in the patient, but we have a research project for that.

Ā Venture Capital FundingMirrakoi is currently bootstrapped but will soon be looking for an external investor.

Health Venture Labs (Budapest)In this small section we talk to the accelerator program Health Venture Labs (HV Labs), and its co-founder Daniel Szemerey (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-szemerey/). HV Labs is the program Mirrakoi went through. If you are curious, they are looking for startups for their next intake: https://hvlab.eu/. As stated in the interview, they have a preference for medical imaging startups.

Part of their program is also a chance to dip in the Boston medtech startup hub.
