joimax^® is continuing its year-over-year double digit growth. Over the past 9 months, joimax^® has grown more than 25% globally and in the United States alone, more than 35%. Among this major spurt, the market leader in technologies and training methods for full-endoscopic and minimally invasive spinal surgery is launching a new endoscopic surgical system, TESSYS^® TransSAP.

The company attributes strong growth to their popular workshop and educational program, which is now offered worldwide under the ESPINEA^® training academy. To keep momentum, joimax^® is releasing the TESSYS^® TransSAP — the fourth addition to the TESSYS^® family encompassing the standard TESSYS^® Std, TESSYS^® XT featuring longer reach instruments, and TESSYS^® Thx, the optimized version for the thoracic spine.

The system is based on the proven TESSYS^® method introduced in 2004. Since then, the technology has been enhanced and can be used for more complex indications, widening the spectrum of disease and vertebral level applications.

“The TransSAP method follows an adopted access path to the spine, directly targeting the Superior Articulating Process,” says Dr. Christoph Hofstetter, associate professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington. “This allows for more extensive foraminal decompression and provides an optimal basis for transforaminal endoscopic fusion,” adds Dr. Ralf Wagner, a longstanding joimax^®-ESPINEA^® faculty orthopedic surgeon based in Frankfurt.

In addition, joimax^® provides a series of implants for fusion indications, such as the percutaneous pedicle screw system, Percusys^® Plus, and a family of 3D-printed titanium cages within the EndoLIF^® program. The EndoLIF^® suite of products consists of the static implants O/On-Cage, Delta-Cage and DoubleWedge-Cage. “There are plans to add a new fully-expandable cage, as well as a navigated solution for endoscopic disc preparation and implant positioning to provide a full endoscopic assisted fusion platform,” says Wolfgang Ries, CEO and founder of joimax^®.

All joimax^® implants can be safely inserted using the “Over-the-Wire” technique for precise implantation, making them ideal for endoscopically-assisted fusion procedures established and protected by joimax^®.

These new products have been exhibited at the following trade shows: SMISS in Las Vegas, CNS in San Francisco, and NASS in Chicago, and will be featured at EUROSPINE in Milan and at the German Spine Congress, DWG, in Berlin later this year.

About joimax^®

Founded in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2001, joimax^® is the leading developer and marketer of complete systems for full-endoscopic and minimally invasive spinal surgery. With the Endoscopic Surgical Systems TESSYS^® (transforaminal), iLESSYS^® (interlaminar) and CESSYS^® (cervical) for decompression procedures, MultiZYTE^® for facet and sacroiliac joint pain treatment, EndoLIF^® and Percusys^® for minimally invasive endoscopically assisted stabilizations, established systems are provided, addressing a whole range of indications. All methods are supported by the latest generation electronical devices in the all new NAVENTO^® navigated endoscopic tower. In procedures for herniated discs, stenosis, pain therapy or spinal stabilization treatment, surgeons utilize joimax^® technologies to operate through small incisions under local or full anesthesia, via tissue and muscle-sparing corridors, and through natural openings in the spinal canal, e.g., the intervertebral foramen, the so-called “Kambin triangle”.
