Xaga Surgical
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing global problem. Xaga Surgical develops a new breed of medical needles that will save the lives and health of patients in the era of antibiotic resistance. The company´s prostate biopsy needle reduces the
bacterial transmission by 96% and thereby reduces the risk of a severe infection.

Did you know that up to 3% of prostate biopsy procedures lead to sepsis?
The life-threatening infection is caused by the biopsy needle pushing bacteria into the body. Andreas Forsvall, MD, wanted to find a safer solution for his patients and thereby started Xaga Surgical.
