Whether they're on a busted lip or helping close wounds after surgery, stitches and other sutures are a familiar presence in the medical world.

The startup is KitoTech Medical, which was spun out of the University of Washington by biotech entrepreneur Ronald Berenson in 2013.

Every three minutes, a person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer. In 2016, more than 170,000 people were diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
