I hope you will enjoy our company
overview brochure, it is intended
to give you a very brief insight into

products we supply at Hospital
Innovations. We have changed greatly
since our formation in 2008; our
established Orthopaedic business
now sits alongside our Surgical and
Urology divisions along with the
newly formed Wound Care and
Dental businesses.
I hope the information helps to
illustrate our commitment to
the sectors of medicine we are
involved in and gives you a feel
for the enthusiasm, commitment
and expertise we have within our
organisation. Everything we do is
geared towards the treatment of
the patients in your care; we aim to
combine quality and value across the
whole of our product range.
If there is any more information you

to ask regarding Hospital Innovations,
please contact us and we will be
delighted to tell you more.

Who we are
What we do
and How we
do it...
Hospital Innovations was born in
2008. We supply a range of specialist
products for use in orthopaedic,
surgical and corrective procedures.
We are licensed by the Human
Tissue Authority (HTA) to store and
distribute allograft bone and tissue
and do so with the support of our
valued international partners.
Our major markets include:
•
Orthopaedics
•
Surgical
•
Spinal
•
Wound care
•
Oral maxillofacial
•
Neuro
We aim to responsibly deliver
outstanding customer support within
our service levels and product range.
Safety, effectiveness and consistency
of quality are our core values; at the
forefront of everything we do, is a
mindful appreciation that the
end-user is a person in need.
Company
Divisions
iGraft is focused on the supply of allograft,
xenograft and synthetic products to
customers. Well established relationships
with supplying partners enable us to
be certain that products are reliably in
stock and of unsurpassed quality. The
most recent addition to our portfolio is
an innovative solution for the repair and
regeneration of peripheral nerves; the
iGraft division was instrumental in the UK’s
first nerve allograft implantation.
Our returns policy continues to be an
additional benefit that supports the
unpredictable nature of the healthcare
environment, by offering customers a
means of storing un-used soft tissue
allograft. This not only creates tangible
savings for customers, but stops
unnecessary wastage of human tissue.
As the first company in Europe to own
state of the art Daihan Dual Compressor
freezers, we offer free of charge storage in
a world class facility.
Improving the management and outcome
of knee ligament reconstructive surgery
is important to Hospital Innovations; to
this end we actively support the National
Ligament Registry.
Our presence and product range is ever
increasing as we position ourselves as the
leading provider of orthobiologics in the
UK.
iJoint is dedicated to the restoration
of function within joints. It offers
proven devices for early intervention
osteoarthritis, the treatment of acute
and chronic meniscus injuries and
osteochondral defects. Our hyaluronic acid
solutions, Monovisc™ and Orthovisc®
offer significant pain relief in early onset
OA; whilst the BioPoly™ RS Knee
System is a unique implant designed to
replace cartilage lesions on the femoral
condyle. We believe that these products
demonstrate our commitment to
becoming the provider synonymous with
products aimed at early preventative knee
surgery.
Did you know that between
February 2011 and March
2013 Hospital Innovations
generated in excess of £1.5
million pounds worth of savings
for the NHS via its allograft
returns service.This figure is
growing every single day.
Our tissue partners have
distributed over 8 million*
tissue implants with ZERO
incidence of allograft associated
infection. Their safety record
is of paramount importance
to us.*RTI Surgical and LifeNet
Health combined distribution.

lies our Symmetry portfolio.

over 24,000 products?
iFortis provides medical specialists with
the highest quality disposable and reusable
instruments from Innomed and Symmetry
Surgical. We have been supplying
the Innomed range of orthopaedic
instruments since our formation in 2008.
The aim of Innomed’s products is to
facilitate easier and quicker operations,
that minimise patients post-operative
discomfort. In October 2012, Hospital
Innovations became the UK distributor
for Symmetry Surgical and immediately
became responsible for a range of surgical
instrumentation including the Codman
range; previously distributed in the UK
by Johnson & Johnson. Our breadth of
product line allows customers to depend
on us for virtually all of their surgical
instrument needs.

forefront of the iSurge business and we
