joimax® at the early summer congresses: SpineWeek Amsterdam and DGNC Leipzig

Karlsruhe, May 28^th 2012. After the very successful Britspine at the beginning of May in Newcastle in the UK the slogan is now “joimax^® goes oranje“ – up, up and away to the SpineWeek in Amsterdam (May 28^th to June 1^st 2012). This conference is held by the leading international scientific societies in the field of spinal diseases. Up to 3000 participants from all over the world are expected and it is hence the biggest conference of this kind in Europe.

Under the motto “Sharing today’s ideas, shaping tomorrow’s practice” joimax^® invites all its distribution partners to a meeting. Central topic will be joimax^®’s new products and a special focus will be laid on the Deflector Blades for Shrill^® – the Shaver-Drill-System which is indispensible in stenosis treatment. During this meeting Dr. Menno Iprenburg, long standing joimax^® faculty member, will hold a presentation on his own success story. In spring 2010 he had opened his “Ruegkliniek” in Veenhuizen in the Netherlands with an exclusive specialization on endoscopic spine surgery with the joimax^® systems. Right from the start the clinic was very popular. After a consumer program on Dutch TV, where the advantages of the surgery method and very satisfied patients were presented, the staff of Dr. Iprenburg virtually can’t handle the huge demand for appointments for surgery. A really striking success story in medicine!

“joimax^® goes Leipzig” – at the 63^rd annual conference of the DGNC (German Society for Neurosurgery) in Leipzig, Germany (June 13^th to 16^th, 2012), joimax^® will focus on the newest technologies in pain therapy with the Multiuse Set for endoscopic facet joint denervation. Dr. Bernd Illerhaus from Recklinghausen, Germany will talk about his experience with this system during the joimax^® Lunch Symposium on June 14^th, 2012. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sandro Eustacchio from the University Clinic for Neurosurgery in Graz, Austria will report on the application of TESSYS^® and iLESSYS^® – the transforaminal and interlaminar access systems of joimax^® for the treatment of lumbar herniated discs and spinal canal stenosis.

Of special interest is the fact that the Japanese sister society to the DGNC joins in the meeting this year. Hence, there will be ample opportunity to make important contacts and set further mile stones for the upcoming entry of the Japanese market. In the meantime – thanks to very active partners – business in China and South Korea is steadily increasing – “joimax^® goes Asia”.
