Advancing Surgical Innovation, Empowering Surgeons
About Us
Surgeons Deserve Better Tools for Better Outcomes
Every day, surgeons and medical teams work under intense pressure to perform life-changing procedures with precision and efficiency. Yet, outdated, rigid, and inefficient tools slow them down, making already complex surgeries even more challenging. At Medimetrix, we believe your tools should work with you—not against you.
We exist to provide cutting-edge surgical innovations that simplify procedures, enhance precision, and improve patient outcomes. When surgeons are equipped with the best technology, they operate with confidence, achieve better results, and change lives.
A Legacy of Innovation, A Future of Transformation
Founded by Erik Papenfuss, an industry leader with a proven track record in surgical device innovation, Medimetrix builds upon decades of expertise in designing and manufacturing next-generation medical technologies.
From Lenkbar to Medimetrix – Erik previously led Lenkbar LLC, where he pioneered the development of FlexMetric® technology, a revolutionary approach to flexible surgical instrumentation. His work reshaped orthopedic procedures and led to the successful merger of Lenkbar with Intech Medical.
Now, through Medimetrix, we’re setting a new standard in bone marrow aspiration technology. Our flagship product, the Marxman® Bone Marrow Aspirator, is the next evolution in stem cell harvesting—delivering superior cell yield, eliminating unnecessary centrifugation, and enhancing surgical efficiency.
Dr. Robert E. Marx
Dr. Robert E. Marx, DDS, FACS, is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon renowned for his significant contributions to stem cell therapy and bone marrow procedures. As a Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Marx has been instrumental in advancing regenerative medicine.
In 2008, Dr. Marx began developing the MarrowMarxman, an FDA-registered device designed to enhance the harvesting of autologous stem cells. This flexible, unbreakable tool allows for minimally invasive extraction of stem cells from bone marrow, facilitating effective bone regeneration and reducing patient recovery times. The MarrowMarxman has been successfully utilized in reconstructive surgeries, including jawbone regeneration, eliminating the need for more invasive procedures.
Dr. Marx has also been a leader in in-situ tissue engineering, combining autologous adult stem cells with allogeneic bone and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 to regenerate viable bone. This approach has been applied to various procedures, such as ridge and sinus augmentations, offering improved outcomes in dental rehabilitation.
Through his innovative research and clinical applications, Dr. Marx continues to shape the future of regenerative medicine, providing advanced solutions for complex surgical challenges.
