FOR INVESTORS
We are the pioneers of optical tissue monitoring.
Founded in 2020, Marginum is revolutionising oncological surgery.
With the developed tissue detection technology for surgery, Marginum aims to make a real impact by helping millions of patients and surgical professionals around the globe.
OVERVIEW
Market forerunner in next-generation surgical techniques
Accurate identification of tumours and distinguishing them from healthy tissues during cancer surgery is a critical challenge surgeons face. With an ageing population and the projected 55 % increase in global cancer incidence by 2040, there will be over 20 million cancer patients each year in need of surgery.
Marginum’s minimally invasive tissue monitoring technology empowers surgeons with precise information about the presence and extent of fluorescent tissue without compromising pre-existent surgical workflow. The patented solution aims to assist surgeons to perform more accurate and targeted resections, reducing tumour recurrence and the need for reoperations while improving patient safety and surgical outcomes.

GREETINGS FROM OUR CEO
Advancing surgical oncology & patient safety.
OUR PARTNERS
Enabling disruptive innovations
“Marginum is developing the next-generation fluorescence-based optical tissue monitoring technology to improve surgical performance and cost-effectiveness. There is an urgent need to decrease healthcare costs and the number of reoperations and complications.
The MARGINUM® tissue monitoring solution assists in safe and efficient tumour detection from surgical suction waste. The surgeon will be notified in near real-time if fluorescence is present in the resected tissue. This non-invasive approach – easily integrated into the current surgical workflow – aims to assist in precise detection of tumour cells leading to minimal damage to healthy tissues.
Our dedicated multidisciplinary team works closely with clinical, academic and industrial leaders to ensure our solutions’ seamless clinical compatibility according to clinicians’ preferences.”
