Novus Medical

What Novus Medical does

Novus Medical is a privately held surgical equipment services company founded in August 2012 and headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon, within the Portland metropolitan area. It operates as a regional service-first provider specializing in surgical instrument sharpening, surgical instrument repair, and broader medical equipment repair (endoscopes, cameras, video consoles, light sources, handpieces, fiber optics, harmonic scalpels, phaco handpieces, transducers, and Doppler probes). The company's technical differentiator is a factory-trained lead technician who received sharpening training in Tutlingen, Germany, under Wolfgang Eisold, combined with an instrument tray tracking and management system that catalogs each tray and documents every service performed to prevent over-sharpening.

The firm serves five healthcare-adjacent vertical segments: hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinics, research facilities, and veterinary practices. Beyond repair services, Novus holds regional representation of Fehling Surgical Instruments, distributing 100% German-manufactured cardiovascular, cardiothoracic, neuro, and orthopaedic instrumentation featuring ceramic coating and Kerrison-design geometry. Distribution is direct, sales-led, and supported by on-site visits, a full-service fixed facility, and a network of certified third-party equipment-repair partner labs. Marketing is modest, centered on the company website, Facebook, Twitter, and the founder's LinkedIn profile.

Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements, including fee-for-service sharpening, on-site and in-facility repair work, and the Fehling distribution channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and instrument tracking services do not require a contract. The company holds Oregon Emerging Small Business certification (ESB ID #11194) and an Oregon CCB license (#226649), and is founder-owned by Jason Belmore with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity.
