The LapRotator on a laparoscope, as Pando shows it on its website.
Pando is under an NDA, so this page sticks to my role and what is public.
pandosurgical.comPando Surgical is a medtech startup working on surgical ergonomics. I joined as its Product Manager in fall 2026, through TroyLabs BUILD’s PM division.
The task
Laparoscopes commonly have an angled tip, so rotating the scope changes the view.
Pando’s product is the LapRotator, which is patent pending: an attachment that lets a surgeon rotate the laparoscope with one hand, instead of setting down an instrument to rotate it with the other.
Without the LapRotator: turning the scope takes a second hand.
With the LapRotator: the hand that holds the scope turns it.
What I do there
As Product Manager, I built the team’s task system.
A shared tracker, organised by date and department, pushes each person’s assigned tasks to their own calendar, from Google Sheets to Google Calendar. A Notion task hub gives each person their own view.
