3NT Medical is an Israeli medical device company building a family of sterile, single-use endoscopes purpose-built for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons. Its two FDA-cleared, CE-marked products - the Colibri Micro ENT Scope for otology and the Peregrine Drivable ENT Scope for the sinuses - are designed to reach narrow anatomy that rigid reusable scopes struggle to see, while removing the cross-contamination and reprocessing burden of multi-use devices. Founded in 2012 by brothers Ehud and Eran Bendory and backed by Japanese optics maker Hoya, the company operates from Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel, with U.S. operations in Short Hills, New Jersey.
Siesta Medical, Inc. is a privately held medical device company in Los Gatos, California that builds minimally invasive implants and instruments to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its flagship AIRLIFT procedure - performed with the FDA-cleared Encore System and the Revolution Suture Passer - lets ear, nose and throat surgeons pull the hyoid bone and tongue base forward to keep the airway open during sleep. The knotless, fully adjustable approach takes roughly 30 minutes, works regardless of a patient's anatomy, BMI or apnea severity, and has been used in more than 2,000 patients.
