Operating Precisely

The word “cairn” is Gaelic and represents a tower of stones built by different cultures throughout history for one purpose – to serve as a guide or landmark to keep travelers on course and to memorialize important places.

Cairn Surgical found inspiration in this concept for its singular purpose – providing tools that enable surgeons to operate precisely – directing them to the exact location and tumor landmarks to improve surgical and patient outcomes.
