CLEVELAND, Ohio — We’re living in a wireless world. So why, Eugene Malinskiy wondered, were surgeons still dealing with bulky, heavy wires in the operating room?
That question occurred to Malinskiy, a Cleveland-area entrepreneur, when he saw a surgical assistant trip over bulky, heavy cables in an operating room prepped for arthroscopic surgery.
The mishap led him to become co-founder and CEO of the Warrensville Heights-based medical device company Lazurite, and develop a wireless camera system to make wireless minimally invasive surgery possible.
