Arbutus Medical Inc. is a commercial-stage medical device venture that streamlines surgical inefficiencies for the good of patient care. The company’s IP (DrillCover Technology™), capabilities designing high-precision surgical instruments, and strategic partnerships allow them to adapt DEWALT® power tools for sterile use as surgical drills, in both hospital and field settings. With this platform, Arbutus is building a portfolio of orthopaedic procedure kits that help save time, cost, and make it easier to do "decentralized" surgeries (in ERs, surgery centers, minor procedure rooms, field hospital settings, and low-resource environments).

The company is currently focused on improving the standard of care for simple orthopaedic trauma procedures commonly performed in hospital Emergency Rooms (ERs) in North America. Its two leading products are TrakPak®, a procedure kit that streamlines bedside skeletal traction for femur and pelvis fractures, and Digit Revision SwiftKit™, a procedure kit that streamlines treatment of traumatic injuries to fingers and toes. Over 60 US hospitals rely on Arbutus Medical’s products daily.

The company also distributes a line of surgical drills with DrillCover Technology™ at radically affordable price points to customers around the globe. In total, Arbutus products have been used by customers in 40 countries, enabling an estimated 120,000 surgeries to date. The company is a registered ISO13485/MDSAP-certified manufacturer, with 1 patent issued and 4 pending. The company’s products have regulatory clearances from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada.
