Neta Glaser, CEO of Hakala Medical – Advancing Safer Surgical Care Worldwide |TiE Women’s Program Silicon Valley 2025
At the TiE Women’s Program – Silicon Valley, we spotlight women founders who are transforming industries where innovation directly impacts lives. Neta Glaser, CEO of Hakala Medical, is one of those founders — leading a movement to make surgical care safer, more precise, and significantly less risky for patients worldwide.
The Problem
Many surgical procedures require breaking down internal scar tissue — a process that traditionally uses blades.
The challenge? Blades can accidentally damage healthy tissue, creating new complications, pain, and extended recovery times.
In high-risk surgeries, the stakes are even higher. Patients deserve safer tools — and surgeons need better options.
Hakala Medical’s Breakthrough
Hakala Medical has developed a novel medical device that removes blades from the surgical process of scar breakdown, drastically reducing the risk of injury to surrounding healthy tissue.
This innovation:
- Protects healthy structures
- Reduces surgical complications
- Improves patient outcomes
- Enables safer procedures at scale
It’s a smarter, safer approach for millions of patients who undergo procedures involving internal scarring every year.
Why This Matters
Surgical safety is not just a medical challenge — it’s a quality of life issue.
Complications from traditional methods can lead to:
- Longer recovery times
- Higher medical costs
- Increased pain
- Repeat surgeries
By eliminating the blade and introducing a safer method, Hakala Medical reshapes what is possible in operating rooms everywhere.
This is the kind of innovation that changes standards of care.
