CLOUZ develops innovative surgical solutions designed to support reliable, efficient surgical care.

OneKnot originated from a simple clinical need: make demanding surgical knot tying easier and more reproducible – without changing the familiar surgical principle.

The technology was invented by Dr. Panagiotis Fikatas at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and Clouz was founded to develop it into a medical product that could be used by surgeons in clinics everywhere.

What began as a surgical challenge in the clinic became a medical product: OneKnot.
