Invuity is an advanced medical devices developer that focuses on enhancing the access and viewing of surgeries which are categorized as "minimally invasive and minimal access surgeries." Based in San Francisco, California, the company develops advanced hand-held illumination devices and access systems that can be used for different surgical fields like the spine, breast and thyroid oncology, orthopedics and plastic surgery, the statement said.

HealthCare Royalty Partners Founding Managing Director Dr. Gregory B. Brown said, "As a surgeon, I understand the challenges that inadequate illumination of the surgical site can present for both doctors and their staff. Invuity's technology has demonstrated that better visualization results in safer and more efficient surgeries. We believe this technology has broad applications across multiple surgical specialties and presents an exciting, robust market opportunity."
