SST returns manufacturing to state

LOUISVILLE – Sound Surgical Technologies LLC in Louisville will contract two Colorado companies to manufacture its disposable products that previously were made overseas.

Front Range Tooling Inc. in Longmont and IPAX Inc. in Englewood will produce canister and tubing products for Sound Surgical’s VASER Lipo System, a liposuction system that uses ultrasonic energy to break apart unwanted fat while preserving connective tissue.

“We are thrilled to bring the disposables business and associated manufacturing jobs back to Colorado and look forward to a successful partnership with our new domestic vendors,´ said Dan Goldberger, Sound Surgical Technologies’ chief executive, in a statement.

Established in 1983, IPAX is an FDA registered and ISO certified manufacturing and packaging firm that specializes in the design and assembly of a variety of medical components. IPAX has designed and produced new infusion and suction tubing for Sound Surgical’s new system.

Front Range Tooling Inc., established in 1982, created the precision canister mold and produces canisters for Sound Surgical.

Founded in 1998, Sound Surgical Technologies placed its first VASER Lipo System on the market in March 2001. More than 70,000 procedures have been performed worldwide using the VASER System, the company said in a statement.
