In this entrepreneur podcast, host Matthew Chang sits down with Dr. S.P. Bowers, robotic surgeon and founder of Suture Shield Inc., for real talk about jumping from a 20+ year surgical career into medical device innovation.

This CEO interview delivers inspiring success story lessons on how one surgeon's frustration with losing needles during robotic surgery (3% non-retrieval rate = 40 minutes of searching) led to inventing a platform-independent device that saves 45 minutes per surgery and eliminates anxiety for 30,000+ surgeons. Dr. Bowers shares entrepreneur advice on the rapid adoption of robotic surgery (50%+ penetration in abdominal surgery, 2027 inflection point when robotics surpasses traditional laparoscopy), mastering new technology in months instead of years (10 proctored cases to expertise vs 18 years of laparoscopy experience), and why AI in healthcare and automation are enabling technologies that make surgeons better faster.

Learn business expert secrets on scaling medical innovation from prototype to FDA approval, building clinical advisory boards of influential surgeons, and why manufacturing in the USA (currently North Carolina) protects against supply chain disruptions. Get business tips on the startup journey from idea to commercialization, raising capital through venture competitions (won Jacksonville 2025), and how cycle time analysis reveals massive efficiency gains (1.5 minutes per needle x 10 needles x 3 surgeries = time to have dinner with your kids).

This mindset for success conversation proves that the best innovations come from domain experts who experience problems firsthand and have the audacity to solve them at scale—turning 400 patients helped per year into millions through scalable technology.
