Why this role, and why now?
Arbutus Medical is reinventing how surgery is done Outside the ORâ˘, starting within the ER, where surgeons struggle with 1M+ bedside procedures a year due to outdated workflows. Weâre building the marketâs first portfolio of procedure kit âgrab bagsâ to streamline these procedures, and have launched two FDA-cleared products to date, TrakPakÂŽ (to streamline bedside skeletal traction) and SwiftKit⢠(to streamline treatment of fingertip trauma). These are two truly differentiated products that solve practical workflow problems, saving up to 45 min/patient, helping hospitals win back resources and keep staff happy, while improving quality of patient care. We are already in 75+ U.S. hospitals (including more than 20% of all Level 1 Trauma Centers), have a high double-digit growth rate, and are backed by a deep roster of Canadian healthtech investors. Entering 2026, we are ready to accelerate product development and scale up US sales and medical education to set a new standard of care in our target procedures.
