KARLSRUHE, Germany, and CHICAGO, November 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

For the first time, joimax® presents a comprehensive product offering for endoscopic spinal surgery, showing the novel pain therapy product "Multiuse". The new Multiuse-Set includes instruments for endoscopic facet joint denervation, otherwise known as rhizotomy.

Additionally, new blades for the successfully launched Shrill® shaver-drill resection and ablation system are being introduced to the market also.

At NASS joimax® will also display the 3^rd generation image capture and data storage device Vitegra®3 for the first time. This is the most recent generation of fully integrated documentation systems. Also being introduced is the D-Camsource® HD LED, the first fully integrated HD camera technology with LED light source. The joimax® proprietary radio frequency system Endovapor® will be presented to the public with new bi-polar probes.

This rapid-fire launching of a variety of new products further positions joimax® as the leader in the field of endoscopic spinal surgery. Along with the launching of many new products, joimax® will also be sponsoring an Endoscopic Spine Symposium at Swedish Covenant Hospital with Chicago Back Institute co-hosting. SMISS® representatives will also be onsite to answer any questions about the newly unveiled SMISS® Prospective Registry. During the symposium, members of the joimax® US and International faculty will be presenting on various topics related to endoscopic spine surgery, from surgeon adoption to the future of minimally invasive surgery. Tradeshow attendees can visit the NASS booth (#2430) for more information.

Other important events right after NASS on the joimax® agenda are the MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Germany, the Rome Spine Conference in Italy and finally the DWG annual congress in Hamburg early December, with another lunch symposium and an evening reception celebrating the 10^th anniversary of the company.
