Intelligent Implant Systems Announces Funding
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 23, 2015 -- Intelligent Implant Systems, LLC announced today the closing of a significant round of financing that will assist in funding the ongoing launch and sales of the Revolution™ Spinal System. The funds were raised in conjunction with Yadkin Small Business Lending, a division of North Carolina’s Yadkin Bank. Scott Birkner, Vice President and Business Development Officer of Yadkin Small Business Lending, commented “We are always excited to partner with great companies like Intelligent Implant Systems. Entrepreneurs like Marc are admirable because they create job opportunities, which in turn strengthens our community. We are thrilled to support local growth in the Charlotte area.”
Marc Richelsoph, President and CEO responded by saying, “We are very pleased to be working with Yadkin Small Business Lending and impressed by the team and support they have provided. This funding places us in a great position to grow sales and expand our Revolution™ Spinal System. Yadkin Small Business Lending responded to our needs and took the time to understand our business and see the opportunity.”
The Revolution™ Spinal System is based upon using a single disposable instrument tray and implants that combine the best of polyaxial screw systems and plating systems into a new implant. This implant has the ability to connect multiple bone screws while adjusting for angulation and distance between the bone screws. This assists the surgeon in connecting implants at different angles without bending or contouring rods or other components. Benefits of the system include accurate and easier connecting of two or more implants and significantly reducing surgical instrumentation and surgical time. Unlike most current systems, the locking mechanism is built in, eliminating extra components and steps, such as placing set screws, which can be tedious and introduce the risk of cross threading.
The Revolution™ Spinal System can be implanted using a total of seven instruments, including a new instrument for easy controllable compression and distraction. Additionally, the bone screws are cannulated for use in mini-open and minimally invasive surgical procedures. In addition to the sterile single instrument tray, implants for the Revolution™ system are also provided sterile, packaged in transparent tubes with each implant having a barcode for traceability. This all-sterile approach has numerous benefits for surgeons, hospitals, and patients, including a streamlined OR process with fewer trays and instruments, no need to wrap and sterilize instrument trays, simplified inventory tracking, and a reduced risk of infection.
