Intellectual Property

Cadence was recently awarded its second patent for a novel sharpening process. This new technology is in production and already providing real benefits to our customers. In addition to its own patents, Cadence has invested in technology related to multi-functional tools and compliant mechanisms for MIS surgery. This investment will allow Cadence to work more closely together with new product development teams to fully commercialize this unique technology and to bring our clients the best custom surgical equipment supplies.
