PLAINVILLE, Conn. and SEOUL, South Korea, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Medical Products,
Inc. (IMP) and Curexo Inc. are pleased to announce a global
strategic distribution partnership combining Curexo's artificial
joint surgical robot, CUVIS-joint, with IMP's industry-leading De
Mayo D2® Knee Positioner.
IMP, an innovator in surgical patient positioning devices,
announced its entry into a nonexclusive OUS distribution agreement
with Curexo, Inc., developers of the world's first fully automatic
surgical robot. Under the distribution agreement, Curexo will
include a De Mayo D2 Knee Positioner, a De Mayo Universal
Distractor® 2.0, and an IMP Sterilization Case, along with the
implementation of the CUVIS-joint robot, in hospitals outside the
U.S. and around the world. IMP will continue its independent sales
distribution channel within the U.S. and globally.
"We are excited to foster this relationship with Curexo and
enhance our strategic initiative to provide surgical patient
positioners to hospitals and surgeons worldwide. The De Mayo D2
Knee Positioner, along with the De Mayo Universal Distractor, is
ideal for stabilizing the knee joint during robotic knee
replacement surgery, and partnering with the next-generation
CUVIS-joint robotic platform allows both organizations to provide
the best care to the patients," said Mike
Reilly, Chief Commercial Officer of IMP.
Jae Jun Lee, CEO of Curexo, Inc.,
said, "The De Mayo D2 Knee Positioner, along with the De Mayo
Universal Distractor with the CUVIS-joint, has proven to be the
best combination for successful robotic surgery in 16,000+ cases of
TKA surgery to date. Through this global strategic distribution
partnership, we expect to establish a stable distribution
relationship with IMP in all regions where we supply CUVIS-joint
and to develop new technology that is more suitable for our robotic
surgery of CUVIS-joint."
"The De Mayo D2 Knee Positioner and the De Mayo Universal
Distractor have demonstrated to be extremely valuable tools for
orthopedic surgeons. Pairing those tools with a state-of-the-art
robot like Curexo's CUVIS joint has provided the surgeon an
unmatched experience while improving patient care. I'm excited
about this partnership and look forward to working with the
talented Curexo team," said Rich
