IGOTIT was formed as a corporation to
fascilitate the development of new products in the field of medicine
and particularly in Orthopaedics. It was formed by Dr Terry Clyburn
who is an Orthopaedic Surgeon in Houston Texas. Dr. Clyburn developed
the first external fixator for Colles fractures of the wrist which
allowed for motion of the wrist while the fixator was in place. This
device was sold internationally by Zimmer Inc. of Warsaw, Indiana for
14 years.
Dr. Clyburn holds multiple patents for this and other
devices used in the treatment of wrist fractures. IGOTIT currently holds
licenses to several of Dr. Clyburn's developments including the HIP-VISE
Table and the Suction Cement Applicator.
The HIP-VISE Table is
patented and is currently in use in major centers in the United States
and Puerto Rico. It is the only hip positioning table used for patient
positioning for total hip arthroplasty which integrates an arm board
and a built in table. Dr. Clyburn designed this device to correct for
the limitations of other such devices used in orthopaedics.
The Suction Cement Applicator is patented and FDA approved for use in
cemented hip arthroplasty. It is the only such device in existance. It
is shown to improve the interface between bone and cement as it removes
fluid and other debris during the cement application process.
IGOTIT functions primarily to develop these new and innovative products to the
point that they are patented, FDA approved and evaluated in multiple
centers. Although we have limited manufacturing and distribution
capability, we prefer to liscense our products once fully developed.
This currently is the case with the HIP-VISE Table and the SUCTION
CEMENT APPLICATOR. We do have other products in development including
the HIP SAFE GARDENING CART. This device allows patients who have had
hip replacement to safely get down on their knees and work in the
garden.
