If all goes smoothly, Malinskiy said, the company could be selling ArthroFree by the middle of 2022. Food and Drug Administration for approval as a Class II medical device. Lazurite is preparing to submit ArthroFree to the U.S. Malinskiy said the incident helped inspire the ArthroFree wireless surgical camera system, which will be Lazurite’s first product to market. The idea for Lazurite came from identifying the need for a wireless arthroscope while working at his prior venture, DragonID, a biomedical engineering consulting firm, when Malinskiy witnessed an accident in a minimally invasive operating room in which a staff member was injured by tripping over surgical camera wires. It was the spirit of tinkering around to find a new (and better) way to do an existing task that helped lead to the creation of Lazurite - previously known as Indago - which has raised more than $18 million on its way to creating "the operating room of the future."

In his free time, the CEO and co-founder of medical device startup Lazurite Holdings likes to play around with technology, soldering microboards or reviving an older piece of electronics.
