KLS Martin, LP, The Market Innovator In Craniomaxillofacial Products For The United States, A Member Of The Worldwide KLS Martin Group
The KLS Martin Group is a major manufacturing and international sales and marketing company located in the heart of central Europe between the Black Forest and Lake Constance. Since 1923 we have been manufacturing surgical instruments for all surgical disciplines. The product range now also includes OR-Lights, electrosurgical equipment, sterilizing containers, endoscopic instruments, laser systems, and implants.
Our factories are equipped with the most advanced computer aided design and manufacturing equipment available. Much of the machinery used to produce our craniomaxillofacial plating products has been custom made to our specification and is one of the primary reasons for our unique quality. The use of our state of the art technology alongside skilled craftsman with generations of surgical instrument making experience has resulted in the finest array of craniomaxillofacial products in the industry.
In the 60s and 70s we began producing maxillofacial instrumentation and craniomaxillofacial plating systems working in close cooperation with many leading European maxillofacial surgeons, including Prof. Hugo Obwegeser, Prof. Maxime Champy, and Prof. Hans-Dieter Pape. The successful worldwide utilization of Champy's osteosynthesis technique in the treatment of craniomaxillofacial trauma, orthognathic surgery, and craniofacial surgery has led to revolutionary developments and improvements in craniomaxillofacial surgery.
Our research and development cooperation with many leading European surgeons resulted in the formation of the S.O.R.G. (Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group) in 1989. The S.O.R.G.'s mission is the advancement of craniomaxillofacial osteosynthesis techniques through the joint efforts of the academic community and industry.
In 1994 the formation of the KLS-Martin partnership extended to North America our commitment to the craniomaxillofacial surgical specialties. Our goal is to build a company responsive in the development of innovative products for oral, plastic and craniomaxillofacial surgery. We have assembled a nationwide team of professional consultants dedicated to your surgical specialty. Our U.S. office is located in Jacksonville, Florida where our management and customer service team is eager to serve your needs.
