TOKYO, Nov. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SurgiBox Inc., a leader in portable surgical solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Japanese medical distribution company, Accord International, to bring its groundbreaking SurgiField technology to the Japanese market. With regulatory approval from Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) already secured, this partnership marks a significant step in expanding access to sterile, portable surgical environments across Japan.
This collaboration will enable the distribution of SurgiField, an innovative portable and inflatable sterile environment designed for safe surgeries in a variety of settings.
