Karlsruhe (GER) / Irvine, CA – December 6, 2018 – joimax^®, the Germany-based market leader of technologies and training methods for full-endoscopic minimally-invasive spinal surgery, is well positioned for Germany’s principal spine convention, German Spine Society (DWG), taking place December 6 to 8 in Wiesbaden, Germany.

This year, joimax^® is focusing on their Endoscopic Tower Generation 4 Devices, an expert solution for spinal surgery. They will showcase the new Camsource^® LED, a fully integrated camera and light source system that delivers brilliant images up to 4K; and the Vitegra^®, the integrated visualization, documentation and commanding device. This marks the global launch of both devices, including in Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Moreover, joimax^® will exhibit its EndoLIF^® product line: the well-known 3D-printed EndoLIF^® O/On-Cage, the EndoLIF^® Delta Cage, and the EndoLIF^® Double Wedge Cage (approval expected shortly).

“The main advantage of the EndoLIF^® Implants is the gentle and atraumatic access via gradual tissue dilatation — muscles remain intact and infection risk is reduced. Using 3D-printing technology, an open diamond cell structure, and a rough and porous surface, leads to optimal bone ingrowth, stability and finally fusion,” states Wolfgang Ries, Founder and CEO of the joimax^® Group. “Even awake, fusion with very fast patient recovery has started to be realized on the base of endoscopic minimally-invasive techniques.”

Additionally, joimax^®  will show Intracs^{® em}, the first complete electromagnetic navigation system for endoscopic minimally invasive spine surgery. Intracs^® is an easy to set up, user-friendly system that can serve as a stand-alone device. It relies on electromagnetic tracking and was designed specifically for simple and safe access to any spinal target. It’s the only device on the market that allows for simultaneous navigation of multiple instruments such as needles, guiding rods, reamers, and endoscopes, also developed by joimax^®.

Besides an expanded booth presence with daily Meet-the-Expert Sessions, joimax^® will again host two lunch symposiums on endoscopic spinal procedures: one covering endoscopic pain therapy, and the other addressing diverse intracanal surgical treatment modalities, including endoscopic fusion.

Karlsruhe, GER– April 18, 2019 – joimax^®, the Germany-based market leader of technologies and training methods for full-endoscopic, minimally-invasive spinal surgery, is presenting its complete product portfolio at the 48^th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Spine Surgery and Related Research (JSSR). The annual meeting is currently underway running April 18-20, 2019 in Yokohama, Japan.

Earlier this year, joimax^® announced its partnership with United Biomech Japan, Inc., who is overseeing distribution of the complete joimax^® product line throughout Japan. Approval of the Pharmaceutical Medicals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) is expected within the next couple of months.

“The Japanese market is characterized by a strong demand for innovative products on endoscopic spinal surgery,” explained United Biomech Japan, Inc. Executive Kazuya Oribe. “The interest at our booth is overwhelming. There are approximately one thousand Japanese surgeons that are now already interested in doing endoscopic spinal surgery.”

“The patients’ demand for gentle surgery methods that result in a very quick recovery, is continuously increasing,” said joimax^® Group Founder and CEO Wolfgang Ries. “Our entrance into the Japanese market is another milestone in expanding our global presence to offer superior medical products. Coupled with an outstanding, international training and education program, we’ve positioned ourselves for long-term growth.”
