Year in Review: How Caldera Medical Made an Impact in 2024
2024 has been an extraordinary year for Caldera Medical, marked by innovation, expansion, and a deepened commitment to our mission: “Improving the Quality of Life for Women!” As a leader in women’s health headquartered in California, we’ve continued to redefine the landscape of pelvic health through advanced surgical solutions, impactful humanitarian efforts, and strong collaborations with surgeons worldwide. From launching new products to hosting transformative events, our milestones this year reflect our unwavering dedication to improving women’s pelvic health globally.
Expanding Our Portfolio: Introducing Luminelle and Benesta Family
One of the most exciting milestones of 2024 was the addition of Luminelle, a state-of-the-art system designed for minimally invasive gynecological procedures. This innovative technology supports diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, offering physicians an all-in-one solution that enhances patient comfort while improving procedural outcomes. Luminelle allows for precision and efficiency, making it an invaluable tool in addressing a range of pelvic floor disorders.
In addition to Luminelle, we also launched the new Benesta Family, now available in three distinct sizes to provide surgeons with greater versatility when performing hysteroscopic tissue removal. This expansion of the Benesta line reflects our ongoing commitment to meeting diverse surgical needs with cutting-edge tools that prioritize both patient outcomes and physician ease of use.
These additions complement our existing portfolio, which includes the Desara® Family for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and the Vertessa® Family for addressing pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Together, this comprehensive range of products empowers surgeons to deliver best-in-class care for their patients.
For us, expanding our portfolio goes beyond innovation—it’s about creating meaningful solutions that enable women to reclaim their confidence, comfort, and quality of life. These advancements are a testament to our dedication to improving women’s pelvic health with every product we develop.
Connecting with Surgeons: A Year Full of PIE
Our Physician Insider Experience (PIE) was a highlight of 2024. These exclusive gatherings gave us the opportunity to connect with surgeons, fostering collaboration, education, and mutual growth. By hosting these events at our headquarters in California, we provided healthcare professionals with an inside look at our operations and a chance to engage directly with our team.
These events strengthened relationships, encouraged open feedback, and facilitated hands-on demonstrations of our latest technologies, including Luminelle. PIE events are more than networking opportunities—they are forums for meaningful exchange that directly impact patient care.
Humanitarian Efforts: Reaching Women Around the World
At Caldera Medical, we are driven by the belief that every woman deserves access to life-changing healthcare, no matter where she lives. In 2024, our humanitarian program achieved significant milestones, delivering critical resources and advancing care for underserved populations around the world.
This year, we supported over 20 mission trips, equipping surgeons with the tools and training they need to provide essential treatments. These missions addressed conditions such as stress urinary incontinence (SUI), pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and intrauterine abnormalities, which can severely impact a woman’s quality of life when left untreated. By providing surgeons with cutting-edge solutions like the Desara® Family, Vertessa® Family, and Benesta™ Family, we enabled thousands of life-changing procedures.
- Nearly 500,000 women have been treated through our humanitarian efforts, bringing us closer to our ambitious goal of reaching one million women by 2027.
- Our mission trips spanned multiple continents, with teams working in over 40 countries, including some of the most underserved regions.
- By collaborating with local healthcare providers, we empowered surgeons to continue offering advanced care long after the mission teams departed, ensuring lasting change in these communities.
These missions are more than numbers—they represent real women regaining their confidence, health, and dignity. For many, this care means relief from years of physical and emotional hardship. The ripple effects are profound, improving not only the lives of patients but also their families and communities.
At Caldera Medical, we don’t just supply products—we provide education, training, and support to ensure sustainable access to quality care. As we push toward our 2027 goal, we remain committed to expanding our reach and partnering with surgeons worldwide to close the gap in women’s healthcare.
Innovating Trade Show Experiences
Trade shows are a cornerstone of our outreach efforts, allowing us to showcase our innovations and connect with industry leaders. This year, AUGS (American Urogynecologic Society) and AAGL (American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists) stood out as our biggest and most successful events.
Highlights from AUGS and AAGL:
- New Swag: We unveiled new swag including tote bags, pins and other eye-catching surprises that became a hit among attendees.
- Virtual Reality (VR) Station: For the first time, we introduced a VR experience, allowing attendees to perform a virtual procedural simulation with our Benesta product. Surgeons could practice cutting fibroids in a lifelike setting, offering an immersive understanding of how our solutions improve surgical outcomes.
- Surgeon Engagement: These events served as valuable opportunities to educate healthcare providers on the latest techniques for treating SUI, POP, and intrauterine tissue removal using our products.
By combining innovation with engagement, we continue to set ourselves apart as leaders in women’s pelvic health.
A Focus on Team Culture: The Caldera Medical Olympics
At Caldera Medical, we understand that a thriving company culture is essential to achieving our mission. This year, we celebrated our team’s spirit and collaboration through the Caldera Medical Olympics.
This event brought employees together in a fun, competitive environment, fostering teamwork and camaraderie. From obstacle courses to trivia challenges, the Olympics highlighted the creativity, energy, and unity that make Caldera Medical an exceptional place to work.
Our commitment to supporting women’s health starts within—by empowering our team to bring their best selves to the table every day.
A Commitment to Physician Education
Education is a cornerstone of our mission. In 2024, we doubled down on our efforts to support physicians with the tools and knowledge they need to provide safe and effective care. Through hands-on training, workshops, and events like PIE and trade shows, we reinforced our commitment to physician engagement.
Physician feedback remains a driving force behind our product innovation. By collaborating closely with surgeons, we ensure that our solutions are practical, effective, and tailored to real-world needs. This ongoing dialogue helps us stay at the forefront of women’s health.
Advocacy and Awareness: Breaking the Silence Around Pelvic Health
Pelvic health conditions like stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse are often stigmatized, leaving many women feeling isolated. At Caldera Medical, we aim to change this narrative through education and advocacy.
In 2024, we expanded our outreach efforts to educate women about their options for minimally invasive treatment. By empowering women with knowledge, we’re helping them regain confidence and live their lives to the fullest. Our resources this year reached more women than ever, reaffirming that they are not alone.
