Lazurite medical device and technology company has allowed Intuitive Modern Medical Solutions (IMMS) to distribute its ArthroFree Wireless Camera System in NY except within New York City.
The ArthroFree system is designed to help surgeons with maximum focus and dexterity without the contamination concerns and disruptions associated with camera cables. It is the first FDA-cleared wireless camera for minimally invasive surgery for arthroscopy and general endoscopy.
“Lazurite is delighted to have IMMS join our growing distributor network and in-house sales team,” Lazurite President Leah Brownlee told the press. “They are a great fit for us with their focus on innovative new technology and coverage of New York state. As we do at Lazurite, IMMS strongly emphasizes the education and training of its team members so that they may be an asset to customers before, during, and after surgery.”
Based in Victor, NY, IMMS was founded by Jeffrey Thomas in 2016. The company offers arthroscopy and laparoscopy, extremity, as well as sports tissue and biologics, and total joint replacement products.
“Our manufacturer partnerships are mostly focused on emerging technologies that fit unmet needs in hospitals and surgery centers and have the potential to reduce overhead expenses, all of which makes Lazurite a great fit for us,” Thomas commented. “They are currently partnered in a study of ArthroFree with the University of Buffalo, which has a strong reputation here in western New York, and they’ve already initiated sales opportunities here with clinical evaluations and demos. The news about the availability of this novel technology in our region is spreading. We have demoed ArthroFree in our onsite lab several times already with positive feedback.”
