On this episode of the Business of Better podcast, our host, Dr. John Chuback, sits down with Dr. Neal Lonky, a physician, inventor, and entrepreneur who turned clinical insight into market-ready innovation. A practicing OB/GYN, clinical professor at the University of California, and former director at Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Lonky is the founder and CEO of Histologics, a medical device company whose primary objective is to advance the field of tissue sampling into the 21st century.  Histologics developed Kylon, a medical fabric now widely used in cervical biopsies and advanced wound care. In this episode, Dr. Lonky shares his journey of building a successful medical device company through patient-focused design and mission-driven growth.

Dr. Chuback and Dr. Lonky talk about the realities of medical entrepreneurship—navigating patent law for inventions, working with investors, and designing products that serve both patients and providers. With a strong focus on affordability, access, and quality, Dr. Lonky explains his philosophy of value-driven innovation and offers practical advice to anyone in healthcare looking to bring a new idea to life.
