What Innovative Medical Products does

Innovative Medical Products (IMP) is a privately held medical device company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Plainville, Connecticut, that develops and markets surgical patient positioning devices for hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and sterile processing departments. The company manufactures a focused portfolio of positioning hardware — including knee positioners, hip and lateral positioners, the Longboard Single-Piece MorphBoard system, SteriPod filtered sterile containers, SteriBump sterile surgical bumps, and protective pads and disposables — engineered to provide stability during orthopedic procedures, reduce staff fatigue, and support modern robotics and minimally invasive surgical (MIS) workflows. IMP's affiliated manufacturing operations, PMC Industries and Wasley Products, trace back to 1926, providing the company with a century of combined precision manufacturing heritage.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market model. All products are sold through quote-based pricing with no publicly disclosed rates, transacted via a Request a Quote form, a dedicated sales phone line, and a distributor recruitment program that supports both direct and channel-based reach. Ancillary service offerings include the MVP (Most Valuable Partner) customer loyalty program, product repair services, in-service training, and equipment rental options. Marketing is executed through a combination of the company website, LinkedIn, industry tradeshows, case studies, and CE-credit educational content targeted at surgical professionals.

IMP is led by Mike Reilly, who joined in 2019 and was promoted to CEO and President effective August 4, 2025, with oversight extending to affiliated PMC Industries. The company maintains a registered patents portfolio and positions itself as a specialized partner to world-leading surgeons and orthopedic companies. The business has remained privately held since founding, with no disclosed outside funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and no parent company or subsidiary structure publicly identified.

Regional players

• Schaerer Medical: Schaerer Medical is a Swiss manufacturer of mobile operating tables and surgical accessories primarily serving European markets. It is comparable to IMP on surgical positioning product scope, though its geographic focus is regional rather than global.

Direct peers

• SchureMed: SchureMed is a focused manufacturer of surgical positioning devices, fracture tables, and OR accessories. As a smaller specialist, it most closely mirrors IMP's product scope and niche go-to-market approach.
• Mizuho OSI: Mizuho OSI is the leading direct competitor in surgical patient positioning, offering specialty tables and positioners for orthopedic and spine surgery. It competes head-to-head with IMP across knee, hip, and lateral positioning in hospital ORs and ASCs.
• Allen Medical Systems (Hillrom / Baxter): Allen Medical Systems manufactures surgical patient positioning devices and OR table accessories for orthopedic and trauma surgery, directly overlapping with IMP's knee, hip, and lateral positioner portfolio within the same hospital and ASC channels.

Broad incumbents

• Stryker: Stryker is a diversified medical device giant with surgical equipment, OR tables, and orthopedic offerings that compete with IMP's positioning portfolio as part of a much broader capital equipment and implant portfolio sold into the same hospital accounts.
• Getinge (Maquet): Getinge's Maquet brand supplies surgical tables, surgical lights, and OR infrastructure to hospitals globally. Its OR table and accessories portfolio overlaps with IMP's patient positioning solutions in the same operating room capital purchasing decisions.
• Integra LifeSciences: Integra LifeSciences is a diversified surgical and orthopedic device company with specialty surgical instruments and consumables that touch the same orthopedic surgery workflow as IMP's positioning devices, though its portfolio spans far beyond positioning.
• Skytron: Skytron manufactures surgical tables, lights, booms, and related OR equipment, with positioning accessories that overlap IMP's offerings. It competes in the same hospital and ASC capital equipment sales cycle as a broader-line vendor.
• STERIS: STERIS is a major sterilization and infection prevention company whose sterile container and sterilization consumables lines overlap directly with IMP's SteriPod filtered sterile containers, in addition to broader OR equipment offerings.

Emerging players

• MöMedical: MöMedical (Mopec) is a smaller specialty manufacturer of pathology, morgue, and surgical support equipment that overlaps with IMP at the margins of OR and procedural support products, representing an emerging adjacent player rather than a head-to-head competitor.
