Inovus Medical and UpSurgeOn Announce Global Strategic Partnership
St. Helens, UK, Milan, Italy January 11th 2025.
Pioneering surgical training technology businesses, Inovus Medical and UpSurgeOn, have announced a global strategic partnership that stands to enhance access to high quality surgical training for thousands of surgeons across the globe. The partnership was unveiled at the opening session of the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in Orlando, Florida.
A centrepiece of the partnership is the integration of UpSurgeOn’s full portfolio of mixed reality surgical simulation technologies into Inovus Medical’s Totum digital surgery platform. This groundbreaking integration will create a world-first ‘digital synthetic cadaver’ for cranial, spine, ENT, and plastic surgery, combining UpSurgeOn’s advanced life-like anatomical and tissue simulation along with its mixed reality expansions with the Totum platform’s unmatched digital capabilities. The result is the most comprehensive platform for delivering multidisciplinary surgery training and simulation globally, setting a new benchmark for innovation in surgical education.
In addition to the integration of the UpSurgeOn surgical series with Totum, Inovus Medical will serve as the commercial partner to UpSurgeOn in several key international territories, providing on the ground support to the growing UpSurgeOn user base and supporting their continued adoption of the UpSurgeOn technologies and Totum platform. UpSurgeOn will be offering access to the cranial, spine, ENT, and plastic surgery modules of Totum in the territories not supported by Inovus’ direct commercial presence, ensuring access to this ground breaking technology to surgeons in over 100 countries. This global partnership ensures that surgical professionals across the globe gain unparalleled access to UpSurgeOn’s cutting-edge simulation technology, empowering them to enhance their surgical skills in the highly specialized fields of spine and cranial surgery.
I have been a huge fan of the UpSurgeOn team and products for many years. The quality and realism of their simulators is unmatched, and by integrating UpSurgeOn’s expertise in cranial, spine, ENT, and plastic surgery simulation with the Totum platform, we are not only enhancing the offering of both companies, but creating a revolutionary digital synthetic cadaver. This world-first innovation represents the future of surgical education - immersive, scalable, and accessible on a global scale, and I am excited to see the positive impact this has on the growth of both businesses.
Inovus has revolutionized the disciplines it operates in, and I have been profoundly inspired by the way they’ve achieved this in General Surgery and Gynecology. As a neurosurgeon, during my training, I often envied the immense opportunities my colleagues in those fields had, thanks to the genius of the Inovus team and the unparalleled level of their mixed reality technologies. They have created a new paradigm in these disciplines. Joining forces will have an unprecedented global impact, showcasing to the world that the future of healthcare is deeply rooted in advanced surgical simulation - reducing risks for patients and costs for healthcare institutions, MedTech companies, and insurance providers,
This partnership underscores both companies' shared commitment to advancing surgical training and improving patient outcomes through technology.
