The concept behind The Insides™ System was originally conceived by Professor Ian Bissett in the 1980s from his time as a general surgeon in Nepal, where there was limited access to surgery.
During this experience, he observed an unmet clinical need in patients who were severely malnourished as a result of intestinal failure.
The Insides™ Company’s mission is to become the leading innovator and provider of medical devices to the growing global community of colorectal surgeons and healthcare specialists.
The Insides™ Company develops life-changing medical devices for people who are recovering from severe intestinal conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer and intestinal fistulas. Our mission is to empower patients to take control of their condition.
