Today’s startup is led by an IDF commando veteran, building a life-saving medical device addressing a need he encountered on the battlefield. Their innovative, patented device is approved for use by the Israeli ministry of health, is in production, and addresses a large market need. 

Company name: TW Medical

Website: https://t-w-medical.com/en/

What they do (in a sentence):

TW Medical developed an innovative tourniquet that effectively stops bleeding from both limbs and junctional areas – in one easy-to-use, compact, life-saving device. They are protected by international patents and approved for use by the Israeli Ministry of Health. 

Why now:
Global defense and emergency sectors are investing heavily in life-saving technologies, as defense budgets are globally on the rise. Junctional bleeding remains a major cause of preventable death, and a practical field solution is lacking and needed.

Team highlights:

• Yaakov Tsadik, CEO and co-founder, is an IDF Commando Unit veteran and a former Magen David Adom volunteer who experienced the need for an innovative tourniquet to save lives. 

• Dr. Giora Weiser, co-founder and medical director, is the director of the Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Giora serves in the reserves in the IDF as a physician in a medical platoon. 

Traction:

• Completed product development. The product underwent both a comprehensive clinical study and successful field testing. 

• Received ISO 13485 and AMAR regulatory approvals, as well as approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health. 

• Established a manufacturing line, began production, and made initial sales in Israel.

• The product is FDA registered and is currently being evaluated by both the Israeli and U.S. militaries.

Competitive edge/moats:

• Secured IP through patents (in Israel and internationally).

Capital raised: $200k raised to date.
