Lumohs was built to solve a problem clinicians have quietly accepted for decades.

Clinicians and staff routinely handle exposed surgical blades.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Steven Hacker has run a busy clinical practice where minor procedures were performed every day. Over that time, he repeatedly saw trained medical assistants and nurses injure themselves while handling razor-sharp blades.

1. Cuts to the hands.
2. Blood exposure.
3. Trips to urgent care or the ER.
4. Lost workdays and liability for clinics.

These incidents were rarely treated as extraordinary. They were accepted as part of the job.

At the same time, procedural visibility during many minor procedures remains limited. Lighting is often inconsistent, obstructed by hand shadowing, prohibitively expensive, or unavailable in many real-world environments.

When procedures are performed millions of times each year, these risks add up quickly. Yet the core instrument used in these workflows, the handle, has barely evolved. Blade loading remains manual.

We eliminate an entire line cost item.

Savings huge. Safety Improved.

Before Lumohs hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices to be compliant with OSHA and minimize risks of blade related injuries they need to buy, install and replace blade removers. This cost is completely gone as we built the blade loader and remover into the process. GONE. Saving all customers thousands on a safer better more efficient process.

When injuries occur, the impact extends far beyond the individual incident. Hand lacerations and blood exposure translate into lost staff time, disrupted schedules, workers’ compensation claims, urgent care visits, and administrative overhead. Even minor injuries can remove trained personnel from the floor, slow patient throughput, and introduce operational friction into otherwise routine procedures.

These injuries are not the result of complex medical decisions— they occur during interaction with exposed blades.

The workflow problem hiding in plain sight

High-volume procedures across aesthetics, dermatology, and minor surgery still rely on manual blade handling. Professionals are required to load and eject exposed blades by hand, creating an unavoidable occupational risk.

At the same time, limited illumination and hand shadowing reduce visibility at the point of care, increasing the likelihood of imprecision during routine procedures.

Despite the scale of these procedures, the tools used in these workflows have changed very little. The handle itself has become commoditized, and meaningful innovation has stalled.

Redesigning the system, not the behavior

The Lumohs team approaches the problem differently. Rather than improving a single component, Lumohs redesigns the workflow itself.

First, blade handling risk is eliminated. Manual loading and ejection are replaced with a touchless cartridge system that removes direct contact with exposed blades.

Second, provider visibility is enhanced. Illumination is integrated directly into the instrument, delivering consistent, on-axis light to the point of care.

Not Cliche. We Really Are "A Razor: Razor Blade" Business.

The result is a safer, faster, and more consistent workflow that fits seamlessly into existing clinical practice. Clinicians do not need to change how they work. They simply work with a better system.

A platform built for durability and scale

Lumohs is not a single device. It is a vertically integrated platform that combines proprietary hardware, patented consumables, and software-enabled workflows.

Hardware enables adoption. Proprietary cartridges create repeat usage. Software supports training and procedural consistency. Together, these elements transform a historically commoditized instrument into a scalable platform with recurring usage.

From Device to Connected Platform

Future versions of the device integrate Bluetooth connectivity with a mobile application and cloud data infrastructure. During a dermaplaning session, the device can capture procedural telemetry such as blade angle, motion patterns, stroke cadence, session duration, and lighting settings.

This vector information can be paired with AI facial images performed before and after treatments. Over time this creates a unique dataset linking dermaplaning technique with measurable skin results.

This data can support practitioner feedback, training tools, and outcome-based skincare insights while helping standardize technique across industry.

Why Aesthetics and Why Now

Several industry shifts make this the right moment to modernize procedural tools. The aesthetics market has grown rapidly over the past decade, and dermaplaning is now a routine procedure performed tens of thousands of times each day. From this foundation, the same platform expands naturally into dermatology, surgery, emergency medicine, and defense applications.

Single-use Platform- Designed for field applications, surgical kits for trauma & emergency care (night vision needed).

Lumohs can serve these environments while maintaining the same touchless blade-handling system and integrated illumination.

USA based manufacturing.

Vertically integrated from day one.

Nano Surgical owns the molds, the tooling, and all device designs outright. This gives Nano Surgical full control over production quality, cost structure and the ability to iterate rapidly without dependency on third party IP.

Our U.S. manufacturing partner produces every device domestically - supporting regulatory alignment and quality standards.

Founder-market fit at the center

Lumohs exists because its founder experienced the problem firsthand.

Dr. Steven Hacker is a dermatologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience who built the product he wanted to use in his own practice. That clinical perspective informs the design, safety priorities, and practical realities of adoption.

Use of capital

Capital from this round will be used to:

1. expand manufacturing inventory tooling,
2. increase production capacity,
3. scale distribution and go-to-market execution,
4. continue development of the Lumohs platform.

Looking ahead

Nano Surgical is building a future where procedural safety, visibility, and intelligence are designed directly into the tools clinicians use every day. Touchless blade handling, integrated illumination, and Vector Intelligence turn millions of routine procedures into a compounding data advantage.

By combining touchless blade handling with integrated illumination, Lumohs improves safety and visibility across millions of procedures performed each year.
