Melzi

Melzi is a private surgical device company developing tools to help operating-room teams detect and recover lost surgical sharps and reduce retained surgical items. Its lead and apparently sole commercial product is the Melzi Sharps Finder, a sterile single-use device intended to locate needles, guidewires, broken instrument pieces, and other metallic sharps during open, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures. The company positions the product as a patient-safety and workflow solution that can reduce search time, radiation exposure from X-ray use, prolonged anesthesia, and hospital costs associated with miscounts and retained objects. Melzi appears to be commercial-stage rather than a therapeutics developer, with activity centered on hospital adoption, distributor relationships, and surgical safety studies rather than a drug pipeline.
