Intellijoint Surgical raises $11 million to expand into US

November 2, 2016

WATERLOO, Ont. – Intellijoint Surgical, Inc., an innovative medical technology company that develops and commercializes 3D mini-optical navigation solutions for surgery, is excited to announce the completion of its Series A with $11 million in financing.

The financing was led by private investors from the Waterloo-Toronto corridor and closed in multiple tranches. Intellijoint is committed to improving patient outcomes through innovative technology made accessible for every patient, every surgeon and every healthcare facility.

“The U.S. launch of the next generation intellijoint HIP earlier this year is being extremely well received in the marketplace and is seeing significant growth,” commented Intellijoint Surgical CEO and co-founder, Armen Bakirtzian (pictured).

“This Series A capital will allow Intellijoint to enhance its product offering with the Direct Anterior Approach Application and allow for expansion into new US markets while enabling deeper penetration of Intellijoint’s presence in New York and Illinois.”

Intellijoint Surgical’s flagship product, intellijoint HIP, is a mini-optical navigation solution that assists orthopaedic surgeons in reaching pre-operative surgical targets by providing real-time, intraoperative measurements for cup position, leg length, offset and hip centre of rotation during a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).

Intellijoint HIP has been used in over 500 procedures in Canada and United States, and is both Health Canada licensed and FDA approved.

“Intellijoint has addressed the shortcoming of traditional navigation. The miniature optical camera provides accurate measurements while compensating for patient movement, which is routine during a total hip replacement. It provides me with valuable information and I choose to use it in every case,” said Dr. Wayne Paprosky, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and member of Intellijoint’s scientific medical advisory board.
