Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Surgicure Technologies, Inc. is a privately held medical device company focused on airway management for civilian and military care settings. Its stated mission is to reduce adverse events by supplying devices that optimize patient breathing, improve deployment speed, and support safety and quality of care in critical situations.

The company's lead product is the HORSESHOE, a patented endotracheal tube (ETT) securement device. It uses an off-the-face, horseshoe-shaped design with a robust locking mechanism, integrated molar props, an internal support frame, a backup-strap D-ring, an ancillary tubing bracket for oral/nasogastric tubes and pilot balloon lines, and an adjustable track. The single adjustable size accommodates ET tubes from 6.5 to 10 mm and a range of patient circumstances including facial trauma, facial burns or pressure injuries, chemotherapy patients with TENS, patients with beards, and emaciated patients. Because the device does not rely on contact with facial skin or lips, adhesives, tape, or wires, the company positions it as reducing medical device related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) while allowing facial skin assessment and cleaning and faster tube repositioning with the device in place.

Marketed claims center on reducing unplanned extubations and tube dislodgement, maintaining tube stability with greater patient comfort, facilitating oral care without compromising airway security, and supporting compliance with 2022 ICHE ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention "Essential Practices" and international NPIAP MDRPI prevention guidelines.
