About WEG
WEG Surgical Solutions was established to close the gap between primitive, outdated tech and overly complex, impractical equipment. Recognizing that true innovation requires stepping directly into the sterile field, our founders utilized decades of healthcare industry experience to challenge the status quo. By partnering closely with operating room nurses from day one, we designed a portfolio that balances mechanical precision with frontline usability, protecting patient safety and room rhythm alike.
WEG Leadership
T.J. Wanbaugh
FounderWith more than 25 years of commercial leadership experience in the medical/surgical device field, T.J. has been in a variety of senior leadership positions with Baxter, Bard, Covidien, GE, Applied Medical, and Mallinckrodt Biosurgery (sold to Baxter in 2018). He’s been a part of major innovations in the market space from some of the first laparoscopic procedures, the first “Beating Heart” procedures, the launch of the first Fibrin Sealant to the market, and the first biologically active combination product used to facilitate hemostasis.
TJ was ready to take these experiences and apply his knowledge to provide best in class medical/surgical devices to the market with a new challenge – starting up a surgical device company dedicated to making products that place safety first, are easy to use, maintain the highest quality standards, and are cost effective. This ideology is our guiding principle with all of our products.
