With lifestyle-related ailments on the rise, knee pain affects approximately 35 to 40 percent of the Indian population, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions.

However, a new dawn emerges as Episurf Medical AB unveils its revolutionary Episealer Individual Implants and Epiguide Surgical Drill Guide, designed to address various knee disorders and articular cartilage injuries.
The announcement came during a press conference led by Prof. Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, and Episurf Medical’s founder, Leif Ryd, accompanied by Fredrik Zetterberg, Marketing Director of Episurf, Mohan Nair, Managing Director of Episurf Medical India, and Pune’s Orthopaedic Specialist, Dr. Shyam Thakkar.
