Why Some of the Best Medtech Opportunities Hide in Plain Sight: Interview with BRIJ Medical CEO Tim Gleeson

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Tim Gleeson, CEO of BRIJ Medical, a company rethinking one of the oldest procedures in medicine — surgical wound closure.

BRIJ’s Brijjit Force Modulating Tissue Bridge is a small, non-invasive clip designed to redistribute tension across incisions, helping wounds heal with fewer complications and smaller scars.

An accomplished entrepreneur and investor, Tim also founded and led Novasyte Health through its acquisition by IQVIA and later launched VIDANT Capital. A former Medtronic executive, Tim brings global experience and a lifelong passion for building impactful medtech ventures.

In this interview, Tim shares why the biggest opportunities often hide in “boring” markets, how focusing on physician champions and patient psychology drives commercial traction, and why the best fundraisers plan for twice the time and four times the cost.
