Innokas Medical has been Lojer’s partner since 2010 when Lojer decided to outsource the PCB and module production of the hydraulic surgical table Scandia to Innokas. In addition to the manufacturing cooperation, Innokas designed and developed the necessary production testers for the products together with Lojer R&D team.

As a continuation of the successful manufacturing partnership, the cooperation between the companies expanded later when Lojer chose Innokas as partner in various product development projects. According to Lojer’s Product Development Manager Mika Kuusela, Innokas Medical was chosen as Lojer’s partner especially because of the company’s strong expertise and full-service capabilities. “Lojer looked  for a partner with the necessary expertise and experience within medical devices and the regulatory requirements related to them. We also wanted to find a full-service provider who, in addition to PCB and module production, is able to design and develop the software with the needed documentation, as well as manufacture and test the core components of the control unit and deliver them as ready for the installation”, Kuusela tells the background of the partner selection.
