Intellijoint Surgical Eager to Expand OEM Business with New Robotic and Navigation Partners

Kitchener, Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intellijoint Surgical congratulates Accelus for being listed in Bonezone’s 5 Orthopedic Companies to Watch in 2023 “because of consistent growth through development deals, the gathering of clinical evidence to back novel treatment solutions and active portfolios supported by numerous product launches.” Accelus experienced impressive growth in 2022 through the Remi Robotic Navigation System and their FlareHawk portfolio of multidirectional expandable implants.

Intellijoint’s relationship with Accelus and their Remi Robotic Navigation System, a navigated robotic targeting system for spine surgery, began in 2020. Remi utilizes Intellijoint’s camera as an integral component of the system to provide enhanced line of sight and enable close positioning while tracking instruments with a broader range than other conventional systems. Remi’s simplified workflow and small footprint make this innovative system appealing to surgeons, saving them OR setup and planning time.¹

Intellijoint’s camera fills a void in the market offering reduced setup time, miniaturized OR footprint, full control from within the sterile field and no line-of-sight issues. While Intellijoint remains firmly committed to innovating in hip and knee arthroplasty, carrying the clinical pedigree of the camera into spine was a natural fit.  

“Intellijoint Surgical had the camera solution we needed to bring our innovative spine robotic navigation platform to market,” said, Brad Clayton, Accelus Chief Technology Officer.  “Remi is the perfect complement to our robust portfolio of enabling implants, instruments, and technologies that allow surgeons to simply address complex pathology, as well as our new product pipeline designed to easily solve clinical challenges of spine through innovation.”

Intellijoint celebrates the resounding success of Accelus and innovation in navigated robotics and is actively seeking finished device makers as new partners to further benefit patients and the robotics and surgical navigation industries globally through its new venture- IJX.
