Arbutus Medical makes simple orthopedic power tools for hospitals. In 2014, co-founders of Arbutus Medical and surgeons from the Uganda Sustainable Trauma Orthopaedic Program came together to solve a crisis. In low-income countries, frequent car accident injuries drive high demand for orthopedic surgery. But specialized drills are expensive and unavailable, forcing doctors to use slow, imprecise, manual drills that often result in lasting disabilities. Plus, sterilizing these in-demand tools after each surgery takes a long time, leaving patients waiting for their desperately needed surgery. Arbutus Medical designed a simple, yet long-lasting solution: a waterproof, sterilizable cover that allows a non-sterile, powered drill to safely perform surgical bone drilling. After partnering with known brands such as DeWalt, the company designed a line of surgical devices that are FDA-registered, and Health Canada licensed.
