ZMED to demo surgical video platforms at ACS Clinical Congress 2026

ZMED will showcase CloudCapture and preview its Surgeon’s Video Toolkit at ACS Clinical Congress 2026 in Washington, DC, from Sept. 26-29. The company is positioning surgical video as a tool for documentation and real-time intraoperative support, not just recording.

Why it matters: - ZMED is targeting a shift in surgical video from passive recording to structured documentation and live workflow support. - The approach could help surgeons, clinical teams and technology partners connect case records with intraoperative guidance in one workflow. - ZMED is presenting the software as complementary tools for two different stages of surgical care.

What happened: - ZMED will demonstrate CloudCapture and preview the Surgeon’s Video Toolkit at Booth #1134 during ACS Clinical Congress 2026. - The conference runs Sept. 26-29, 2026, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. - ZMED plans to show how surgical video can support structured surgical documentation and real-time intraoperative workflow. - The company will invite surgeons, clinical leaders and technology partners to meet the development team, watch live demonstrations and discuss clinical use cases.

The details: - CloudCapture is a surgical video capture and review platform. - CloudCapture is designed to create a structured, searchable procedural record for documentation, review, education and collaboration. - The platform captures, synchronizes, documents and organizes surgical procedures. - CloudCapture structures video, transcription, procedural context and key moments into a time-aligned case record. - The Surgeon’s Video Toolkit is a developing suite of surgeon-controlled software for the operating room. - The toolkit’s initial capabilities include real-time visualization, measurement, workflow tools, annotation and procedural guidance. - ZMED says the toolkit also includes grids, overlays, timers, snapshots, procedural markers and workflow guidance. - The company describes future software-assistive capabilities as part of the development roadmap. - ZMED says the goal is to provide useful visual and contextual information without disrupting surgical workflow or replacing surgical judgment. - Jack Wade, CEO and CTO of ZMED, said surgeons face two related challenges: creating a complete procedural record after surgery and getting timely information during surgery. - ZMED said CloudCapture and the Surgeon’s Video Toolkit were developed independently but are designed to work together across the surgical workflow.

Between the lines: - ZMED is trying to position itself as a surgical workflow company, not just a video company. - The two-platform strategy suggests a focus on both retrospective review and real-time decision support. - ZMED’s heritage as a subsidiary of ZMicro gives the company a military-grade engineering narrative that may appeal to clinical buyers looking for reliability and precision. - Wade said the company wants the conference to start a conversation with surgeons about where the technology should go next.

What's next: - ZMED will use the ACS meeting to collect feedback on clinical use cases and product direction. - The company is expected to continue developing the Surgeon’s Video Toolkit’s assistive features. - Interested attendees can contact Melissa Wade, Head of Health System Strategy & Engagement, at 858.831.7034 or Melissa.Wade@zmed.com to schedule a meeting. - More information is available on ZMED’s website and LinkedIn.

The bottom line: - ZMED is using ACS Clinical Congress 2026 to pitch a connected surgical video stack: one platform for structured records, another for live intraoperative support.
