The milestone surgery was performed by R. David Graham, MD, in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, at the Baptist Medical Center.

“Acumed has a long history of delivering industry-first solutions designed to provide surgeons with in-situ customization options to achieve optimal patient fit and restoration of function for their patients,” said Milton Torres, VP of Hand and Upper Extremity at Acumed. “Our mission is to aid the afflicted through the ingenuity of our minds, the labor of our hands, and the compassion of our hearts. Acumed is proud to live our mission every day through service to our surgeon customers and the entire health care community.”

“Acumed has provided innovative, industry-first products for nearly 35 years,” said Hjalmar Pompe van Meerdervoort, President of Acumed. “From recent screw updates to the Acu-Loc family, and innovative new products like our Acu-Sinch Knotless technology, to our recent acquisition of ExsoMed, Acumed is living up to our reputation of providing innovative products that make a difference in patient outcomes.”

Sales professionals Alex Boyarovsky and Savannah Larimore supported the surgery. “It was an honor to provide service to Dr. Graham in this case and humbling to witness the incredible work he does for patients every day,” said Larimore, with Southern Surgical in Jacksonville, Florida. “I’m excited to be part of Acumed’s legacy of service and the one millionth Acu-Loc surgery.”
