PLAINVILLE, Conn. and SEOUL, South Korea, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovative Medical Products, Inc. (IMP) and Curexo Inc. are pleased to announce a global strategic distribution partnership combining Curexo’s artificial joint surgical robot, CUVIS-joint, with IMP’s industry-leading De Mayo D2® Knee Positioner.

IMP, an innovator in surgical patient positioning devices, announced its entry into a nonexclusive OUS distribution agreement with Curexo, Inc., developers of the world’s first fully automatic surgical robot. Under the distribution agreement, Curexo will include a De Mayo D2 Knee Positioner, a De Mayo Universal Distractor® 2.0, and an IMP Sterilization Case, along with the implementation of the CUVIS-joint robot, in hospitals outside the U.S. and around the world.

“We are excited to foster this relationship with Curexo and enhance our strategic initiative to provide surgical patient positioners to hospitals and surgeons worldwide.
