From a surgeon’s curiosity
to an innovative solution
It started with a curious surgeon on a quest to solve a clinical problem. Dr Gabriel Börner, during his training and practice, often saw patients suffer from complications after open abdominal surgery. Inspired by new evidence that a refined suturing technique could reduce these complications, he envisioned a better way.
Teaming up with MedTech engineer Mats O. Christensson and LU Holding AB, Gabriel founded Suturion AB in 2018. Their mission: to create an easy-to-use suturing device for standardized and consistent high-quality closure of the abdominal wall in a fast and safe way. This vision became SutureTOOL, a groundbreaking medical device designed to help surgeons adopt the small-bites technique with precision and efficiency.
Through extensive pre-clinical research and several patents, Suturion reached an important milestone in 2024 by completing a clinical trial, paving the way for CE and FDA approval. What began as a simple idea is now set to transform surgical care and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
