Overview
Tailor Surgery, S.L. is based in Sabadell, in the province of Barcelona. It is a spin-off of the 3D Surgical Planning Laboratory established in 2014 at Hospital Universitari Parc Taulí, one of the reference units in Europe for 3D surgical planning, and it was founded to bring that laboratory's method out of a single hospital and into routine practice elsewhere.
The team pairs surgeons with biomedical engineers, subspecialty by subspecialty, rather than treating planning as a purely technical service. The founder and Chief Medical Officer is Dr. Ferran Fillat-Gomà, a shoulder and elbow surgeon who publishes on 3D planning in upper-extremity surgery. According to the manufacturer, more than 1,000 surgeries have now been performed across some 30 hospitals using its plans, guides and implants.
The company holds ISO 13485 certification for the manufacture of medical devices, issued by NQA in October 2025, and its website carries Web Médica Acreditada accreditation. It took first prize at the ESADE Entrepreneurship Summit in 2024.
Technology focus
For the deformity that no off-the-shelf implant fits and no freehand osteotomy reliably corrects.
A malunion planned from plain films becomes a judgment call once the saw is in your hand, and the correction you get is the correction you can see. Tailor Surgery builds a digital twin from the CT, quantifies the deformity in three planes, and turns the plan into a guide that sits on the bone in one position only. Reported planning-to-execution deviation is under 3° and 2 mm, a manufacturer summary of its cited studies, several of which evaluate patient-specific instrumentation in general rather than Tailor Surgery devices specifically.
The offer is structured as three levels rather than a catalogue of parts. CORE is the diagnostic study from the medical images plus the treatment proposal and the 3D digital plan, validated by the manufacturer's own surgeons. ADVANCED adds the digital step-by-step surgical technique, the patient-specific guides, and the essential standard instrumentation for that procedure. EXCELLENCE adds the custom-made implant. The manufacturer's website describes the same three levels as 3D planning, 3D planning with custom-made guides, and 3D planning with custom-made guides and implants.
Everything for the case arrives in one single-use box: the guides, any custom implant, the specific screw sets, the single-use instrumentation, a surgeon folder with the surgical technique and a during-surgery summary, and a separate scrub-nurse folder with the instructions for use.

Clinical evidence
Work from the Parc Taulí laboratory the company grew out of, on 3D planning in upper-extremity surgery.
Custom 3D-printed guide against freehand fixation. The manufacturer cites up to 43% improvement in surgical time from this study.
Nine documented cases across distal radius and forearm malunion, glenoid defect, tibial osteotomy, acetabular revision and limb reconstruction.
GESY in Cyprus
Tailor Surgery devices have no standard GESY code, because each one is made for a single patient. Each case goes through an individual reimbursement application, which OrganoGEN prepares and submits once the surgeon has approved the proposed plan. Approval is secured before manufacturing begins, because a custom-made device cannot be cancelled once production starts.
For self-pay and international patients, the complete system is quoted up front at a fixed price for the case. Surgeons can send a case to start, and the costed proposal comes back within 48 hours.
Partnership with OrganoGEN
OrganoGEN is the authorized distributor of Tailor Surgery in Cyprus, acting as distributor under EU MDR 2017/745 Article 14, under an exclusive Cyprus collaboration agreement. Nothing here is held in stock: every case is a bespoke order that begins with a CT and ends with a single-use box in the operating theatre.
OrganoGEN runs the case end to end. We take the CT to the manufacturer, return the costed and clinically validated proposal to the surgeon, prepare and submit the individual GESY application before anything is manufactured, and cover the case in theatre. Cypriot cases are already running through this pathway. Where the plan calls for graft or fixation alongside the custom parts, SmartBone® and Hofer Osteosynthesis are available from OrganoGEN as well.
