SG24 Surgical Innovations | Surgeon-Driven Orthopedic Device Development SG24 Surgical Innovations (SG24-SI) is a medical device design and development company focused on advancing orthopedic fixation through surgeon-driven innovation, practical engineering, and capital-efficient commercialization. SG24-SI develops minimally invasive orthopedic technologies designed to improve surgical efficiency, reduce soft tissue disruption, and address real clinical friction points in fracture fixation. Core Areas of Focus: • Intramedullary fixation systems • Minimally invasive orthopedic technologies • Surgeon-centered product development • Fracture fixation platform expansion • Early-stage medical device commercialization • Strategic collaboration Flagship Innovation: CALIBER™ CALIBER™ is the foundational product platform developed through SG24-SI. CALIBER™ is a patented intramedullary clavicle fixation system designed to address persistent challenges in midshaft clavicle fracture repair, including implant prominence, soft tissue disruption, technical inconsistency, and difficult hardware removal. Simple. Safe. Strong.™ CALIBER™ combines a low-profile intramedullary implant with the patented Straight Shot™ Surgical Technique, a controlled directional pathway designed to improve procedural repeatability and surgical efficiency. The platform also incorporates the Quick Draw™ Removal Method, designed around single small incision access, direct implant removal, no retained fragments, and no stress-riser screw holes. While CALIBER™ begins with clavicle fixation, SG24-SI is being developed as a broader orthopedic innovation platform, with future opportunities in olecranon, distal fibula, fifth metatarsal, and other surgeon-driven fixation concepts. SG24-SI exists to build practical orthopedic technologies that solve real surgical problems — with patients, surgeons, and efficient care delivery at the center of every decision.

As Market Chief Strategy Officer at USPI, I led the strategic direction for more than 140 surgery centers across the Maryland, Northeast, Great Lakes, and Midwest markets.
