GREENWICH, CT and ANN ARBOR, MI (PRWEB) January 28, 2014 -- Biotronic NeuroNetwork ("Biotronic"), a Great Point Partners I, L.P. ("GPP") portfolio company and the nation’s leading intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring ("IONM") company, today announced that it has acquired Neurophysiology Associates, LLC (“NPA”), a premier regional IONM provider based in Athens, GA.
Greg W. Sasso, Chief Executive Officer of Biotronic NeuroNetwork commented, "We welcome all of Neurophysiology Associates’ team members and customers to the Biotronic team. This partnership will serve to strengthen Biotronic's leadership position in the IONM market segment and clearly expands our national service footprint by providing an excellent entry in the attractive markets of South Carolina and Georgia. We employ over 200 Neurophysiologists servicing over 425 hospital customers and over 1,100 surgeon customers in 32 States. Additionally, the Biotronic team will monitor over 40,000 surgical cases during 2014."

IONM utilizes advanced electrophysiological modalities to monitor and record the functional integrity of critical neural structures (brain, nerves, and spinal cord) and organs in real-time during surgeries such as neurological, spinal, vascular, cardiothoracic, orthopedic and other complex procedures where these structures potentially could be at risk.
