TOKYO, Nov. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SurgiBox Inc., a leader in portable surgical solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Japanese medical distribution company, Accord International, to bring its groundbreaking SurgiField technology to the Japanese market. With regulatory approval from Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) already secured, this partnership marks a significant step in expanding access to sterile, portable surgical environments across Japan.
This collaboration will enable the distribution of SurgiField, an innovative portable and inflatable sterile environment designed for safe surgeries in a variety of settings. Through this partnership, SurgiBox and Accord International aim to meet the demand for adaptable surgical solutions among hospitals, emergency medical teams, and healthcare providers in remote and disaster-prone areas throughout Japan.
Dr. Tomohisa Shoko, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Director of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine at Tokyo Women’s University Adachi Medical Center, recently tested the SurgiField system in simulated field surgeries, including use in an ambulance. He praised the technology’s adaptability, noting its potential for safe surgeries outside traditional operating rooms—a first in Japan.
"We are excited to partner with Accord International," said SurgiBox Business Development Director, Kelly Laurel. "This collaboration marks an important step to make safe surgery available anywhere. With Accord International's deep network and understanding of the Japanese market, we are confident that the SurgiField will become an invaluable asset in Japan's healthcare landscape."
