The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery partners with Innovative Medical Products on micro-website

PLAINVILLE, Conn. - Oct. 31, 2016 - PRLog -- The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS), the peer-reviewed journal of orthopedic surgery and research, has partnered with Innovative Medical Products to create a sponsored microsite specifically devoted to all aspects of knee surgery. With a print circulation of more than 28,000 subscribers in 104 countries, JBJS selected IMP to sponsor the microsite because of its worldwide leadership in patient positioning for orthopedic and arthroscopic surgeries.

"Partnering with JBJS is an exciting opportunity for us," said Earl Cole, IMP vice president. "Without question, JBJS is enormously respected in the orthopedic surgery field. The new microsite will definitely provide a higher-profile platform in communicating more dynamically with IMP's targeted audiences who are looking for the most effective solutions in knee surgery."

The JBJS/IMP web page is designed to provide readers a quick and easy way to obtain the latest information in knee surgery innovations and practices.  The site will post updated videos and editorial content from IMP, as well as selected JBJS articles on knee surgery. The site (http://knee.jbjs.org) will also provide a link to IMP's own micro-website (http://kneepositioners.com) that covers a wide range of knee positioning solutions for surgical procedures including:


·       The De Mayo V²E™: a patented sterile extension arm that extends the knee positioner base plate off the end of the OR table, enabling the surgeon to stand between the patient's legs in order to look straight down onto the surgical site.

·       The De Mayo V^2™: in addition to improved holding power and easier cleaning, the V²™ offers a new side rail clamp and base plate bar, improving base plate security.

·       The De Mayo D²™: engineered with improved carriage holding power, a removable carriage for easier cleaning and spring-loaded fold-down pins for improved ease of use.
