Inova Medical

Inova Medical is an Australian early-stage medtech company developing medical devices for the treatment of skin abscesses. Its lead and apparently sole disclosed product is the ABCEASE Kit, a sterile, single-use device designed to enable out-of-theatre abscess access, drainage, and exudate collection, with the goal of reducing the need for operating theatre procedures, general anaesthesia, and inpatient stays. The company was founded by surgeon Ming Khoon Yew, bioengineer Alex Hayes, and CEO Melanie White, and applies a biodesign/design-thinking approach to unmet clinical needs. Inova Medical appears to be a private, active company focused on commercialising this abscess drainage device rather than developing drugs or biologics.
