Shedding a light on the Illuminant team
Every patient has different needs but what they all have in common is the need for the best care we can provide. Illuminant sprung from the belief that there had to be a better way to achieve the level of precision we are always aiming for.
We put a team of dedicated and innovative individuals together to create a solution that could be used by every surgeon and immediately change the way they operate. The drive and passion to provide the best care for patients is foundational to Illuminant’s identity.
