Intellijoint Surgical and Insurgical Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Orthopaedic Technology

Collaboration combines surgical navigation and single-use power tools to support efficient,
practical, and cost-conscious joint replacement procedures.

KITCHENER, Ontario, and AUSTIN, Texas, April 13, 2026 — Intellijoint Surgical, a Canadian
medical technology company focused on surgical planning and navigation for total joint
replacements, and Insurgical, an Austin-based developer of single-use powered instruments for
orthopaedic procedures, today announced a strategic partnership focused on advancing a more
efficient, practical, and cost-conscious approach to joint replacement surgery in the United
States.

Through the partnership, Intellijoint Surgical’s US Sales Team will offer Insurgical’s single-use
power tools alongside the Intellijoint Navigation System. Together, the two products address
a growing need: predictable and consistent joint replacements without added complexity,
volume-linked implant restrictions, or capital costs. Intellijoint provides an open platform,
surgeon-controlled navigation system for total hip and knee arthroplasty, while Insurgical brings
power tools that are factory tested, terminally sterilized, and ready the moment you open the
pack. Both companies share the belief that as joint replacement procedures increasingly move
to ambulatory surgery centers and cost-sensitive facilities, the next generation of orthopedic
technology will be defined by solutions that are open, practical, and economically accessible

“This partnership brings together two solutions that make immediate sense in today’s market,”
said Alex McLachlan, Vice President of Sales at Intellijoint Surgical. “Facilities are looking
for technology that is easier to adopt, simpler to support, and financially practical. Intellijoint and
Insurgical are a natural fit, particularly in the ASC environment, and we also see a strong
opportunity in hospital settings.”

In addition to the commercial agreement, the partnership includes a co-development initiative to
explore the integration of Intellijoint Surgical’s tracking and navigation technology with
Insurgical’s next-generation power tool platform. The co-development effort is currently in the
planning phase, with additional details regarding design and commercialization to be announced
at a later date.

“While this partnership creates immediate value for surgeons and facilities, we’re equally excited
about where it can lead,” said Armen Bakirtzian, Co-Founder and CEO of Intellijoint
Surgical. “By exploring how Intellijoint’s navigation and tracking capabilities can work alongside
Insurgical’s next-generation power platform, we see real potential to help shape the future of
more efficient, practical, and economically accessible joint replacement technology.”

“Insurgical was built on the idea that orthopaedic power tools should deliver a higher standard of
efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in the OR,” said Pete Aman, President and CEO
of Insurgical. “Intellijoint Surgical has built that same kind of standard in hip and knee
navigation. Together, we are laying the groundwork for what next-generation
orthopaedic technology can look like.”
