Competitive Landscape
Lazurite competes against dominant players in arthroscopy like Stryker, Arthrex, Smith & Nephew, and ConMed, all of whom offer traditional corded camera systems and are likely developing wireless alternatives. In the wireless niche, it faces competition from other startups and specialized players, but its specific FDA clearance for arthroscopy provides a distinct early market position.
