Why this role, and why now?
Arbutus Medical is reinventing how surgery is done Outside the OR, starting within the ER, where surgeons struggle with 1M+ bedside procedures a year due to outdated workflows. We're building the market's first portfolio of procedure kit "grab bags" to streamline these procedures, and have launched two FDA-cleared products to date, TrakPak (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.
