Innovasis Cranial Plating
We are excited to announce the much anticipated release of the Innovasis Cranial System (ICS), available August 29th!
Over the past several years we have seen the demand for our current cranial plating system grow at remarkable rates. Because we didn’t expect such a positive reaction, we decided that it would be in the best interest of our customers to put our focus on developing other spine related products prior to dedicating efforts and resources to the development of a rigid cranial fixation system. For over 5 years, we decided to simply distribute a system that was being manufactured in Asia. Although it is a decent system and has been meeting our needs, it was the only system under our roof that we weren’t manufacturing ourselves. There are several sacrifices that are made when you aren’t manufacturing your own implants.
- First, Quality: Although we have been relatively pleased with the quality of the product, we felt that we could do better. By keeping the manufacturing in-house, we have complete control over the design of the product, the sources of our raw materials, as well as the specific manufacturing processes.
- Second, Ownership: We were fortunate enough to have selling rights to all of the USA. That’s not enough for us anymore. With the recent expansion we have seen into multiple other countries, (Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Peru) we needed to be the manufacturer of the product in order to allow this product line to grow with the rest of Innovasis.
- Third, Cost: It’s commonly understood that manufacturing your product overseas can be more cost effective than in the U.S. However, because we were only a distributor of product, we were able to obtain essentially the same cost for our new implants by moving our manufacturing into the U.S. We are also able to further support the US economy, increase the quality of our manufacturing, and still provide competitive pricing to our healthcare facilities… turns out to be a pretty sweet deal.
For our distributors and surgeons who use our current cranial plating, please talk to your area Sales VP to arrange a demo of the new Innovasis Cranial System. We would like to transition to the ICS over the coming months. For those who would like to get more information, please reach out to your rep, distributor or area Sales VP. If you don't know who that is, please send an email to sales@innovasis.com or call our offices at (801)261-2236.
