IZI Medical

IZI Medical is an American medical device company headquartered in Owings Mills, Maryland, just outside Baltimore. Founded in 1991 by a neuroradiologist and a radiation oncologist, the company was created with the goal of developing and manufacturing medical devices that increase procedural accuracy and decrease procedural time. Over its first decade, IZI successfully developed and commercially launched more than ten innovative products, primarily in image-guided surgery and radiation therapy. Today, IZI Medical describes itself as a leading innovator, manufacturer, and distributor of quality medical devices, providing continuity that healthcare partners need to succeed. The company's portfolio has expanded significantly and is now largely focused on diagnostic and therapeutic interventional solutions. Areas of increased focus include soft tissue biopsy, breast localization, vertebral augmentation, and vertebroplasty, among others. IZI Medical develops, manufactures, and provides high-quality medical consumable devices used in interventional radiology and oncology, radiation therapy, neuro-spine, and image-guided surgery procedures. Its products are backed by strong intellectual property and are sold to more than 2,000 domestic customers as well as internationally across 25 countries. Key product lines include the Vertefix® MV bone cement infused with Insite™ Tracking Beads for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures; the Quick-Core® Auto Biopsy Needle, a programmable automatic biopsy system for soft tissue biopsy; the Blazer® Vertebral Augmentation System for minimally invasive vertebral augmentation; the Bonopty® coaxial bone biopsy system; VISICOIL™ flexible linear fiducial markers; IZI Gold Fiducial Markers for radiation therapy; and Snap-On Spherz® passive retro-reflective markers for image-guided surgical procedures. The addition of the Osteo-Site® Vertebral Balloon gave IZI a complete portfolio of clinically appropriate and integrated vertebral compression fracture treatment solutions. The acquisition of established soft tissue biopsy and breast localization products further expanded the IZI Medical portfolio of minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic products. IZI Medical positions itself around physician-inspired innovation and improving patients' lives. Its growth strategy is described as working with innovative clinicians who dedicate their lives to improving patient lives and delivering excellent patient care, partnering with forward thinkers who constantly look for ways to improve patient outcomes.
