Natural hydrogel to keep organs scar-free after surgery

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are developing a naturally derived hydrogel that surgeons apply directly to tendons at the end of surgery. Its purpose is to reduce internal scarring and improve healing outcomes for patients undergoing tendon or ligament surgery. The hydrogel acts as a protective coating to minimize adhesion formation and support better recovery.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Houston, TX, and plan to base the company there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Houston is home to our founding team and gives us close access to medical institutions and surgical partners critical for our development and testing. Staying local keeps us connected to the hospitals that will use our product.
