State-of-the-Art Surgical Instruments for Outpatient Joint Replacement
About Operativ
Operativ began as a research laboratory founded by joint replacement specialists in 2005. The impetus was to develop and perfect advanced surgical methods with the goal of improving the patient and provider experience, reducing costs and improving efficiencies. We sought to accomplish this through enhanced instrumentation, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques and cadaver-based training and education. To fill the needs for specialty instruments and disposables, Operativ began developing its own instruments and grew into a national training center. By 2010, the company had trained more than 200 surgeons, and our products are now distributed across the United States.
