Company overview

Reveal Surgical is a Montréal medical device developer focused on real-time tissue characterization during cancer surgery. Formerly ODS Medical, it is affiliated with Reveal Life Science, the group's molecular-sensing and artificial-intelligence research platform.

Its Sentry platform combines optical probes, Raman spectroscopy and machine-learning software to provide molecular information about tissue. Current programs address brain-tumor surgery and ex-vivo assessment of breast-surgery specimens.

The company’s surgical technologies remain investigational. Reveal Life Science also describes NaviSense, an endoscopic tissue-guidance development program.
