Karlsruhe (ots) -

At the same time joimax® Inc., the US subsidiary celebrates its
fifth anniversary, exhibits at the AANS and for the first time
awards the Parviz Kambin prize in the frame of the second
international TESSYS®-User Meeting in Denver, USA.

joimax® GmbH holds the 2nd International TESSYS® User Meeting in
Denver, USA on April 9th and 10th. At this event, the Karlsruhe based
medical device company starts the celebration activities on the
occasion of its 10th anniversary in Germany and its 5th year of
existence worldwide - a special occasion in combination with the AANS
Annual Scientific Meeting (American Association of Neurological
Surgeons) from April 9th - 13th, 2011.

"We are particularly proud to announce the first ever Parviz
Kambin Award", says Wolfgang Ries, founder and CEO of joimax® GmbH.
"With this award we value the neurosurgeon Dr. Parviz Kambin's
research and work as an important pioneer in the field of minimally
invasive spinal surgery. The TESSYS® procedure uses what is known as
the Kambin-triangle as its point of access to the spinal canal."

The User Meeting offers an optimal platform for TESSYS® users,
surgeons, scientists and sales partners to share their experience
with the method, further technologies and case studies as well as
learn and test new products and techniques such as the iLESSYS®
System, now being launched.

On April 9th, joimax® starts its celebrations with an advanced
cadaver workshop which focuses on endoscopic spinal stenosis
treatment with TESSYS® Stenosis, the Shrill® Shaver Drill System and
now iLESSYS® method as well. The iLESSYS® method enables the surgeon
to fully endoscopically remove transforaminally difficult-to-reach
herniated discs and also stenoses via an interlaminar approach.

The joimax®-founder Wolfgang Ries will also give an overview of
the history of the company reflecting the past five and ten years of
the company and will also provide an outlook on future products and
systems.

The scientific program of the event will include a variety of
technical lectures, presentations and discussions on the TESSYS®
method including reports on first experiences with the Shrill® System
and iLESSYS®.
