Lazurite designs MedTech devices. Its ArthroFree® System includes the first wireless camera with FDA clearance for arthroscopy and endoscopy. Free of cumbersome camera cables, ArthroFree enables surgeons to work with maximum dexterity, precision, and focus. Without camera-cable-related interruptions, surgeons are able to keep their eyes on the monitor—and on their patients’ well-being. Lazurite commenced commercialization (initial sales) of its first product ArthroFree in 2023.
