JUNE MEDICAL is awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for surgical ring retractor Galaxy II.
June Medical is delighted to announce that we are one of 48 organisations presented with this year’s Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation. This is the UK’s most prestigious business award, and comes with the honour of using the Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years.
This accolade stems from the tireless work of every employee at June Medical, as well as all the surgeons and nurses that have helped develop and fine tune the Galaxy II. Their diligence is the key driver of our success, which continues to grow.
But the true significance of this award is not what it means to the company, but to the patients the Galaxy II helps. This compact and lightweight retractor is a true surgical game-changer, reducing costs and, most importantly, improving patient outcomes by making surgery safer and easier.
