OrthoPediatrics Inks Distribution Deal with 3D-Side

OrthoPediatrics has entered an exclusive distribution agreement with 3D-Side, a Belgian software developer and maker of patient-specific, 3D-printed cutting guides. OrthoPediatrics was granted rights to exclusively distribute the 3D-CUT-OSTEO osteotomy guide in leading U.S. pediatric hospitals, and select international markets in the future.
 
3D-CUT single-use, patient-specific guides are designed from CT or MRI images. They help surgeons perform corrective and bone tumor resection osteotomies.
 
OrthoPediatrics president and CEO David Bailey told the press, “the 3D-Side technology complements the OrthoPediatrics’ pediatric limb deformity implant and biologic offering, and increases exposure in the pediatric oncology market, where many of the most challenging orthopedic cases involving tumor resection require a full complement of solutions including implants, biologics, and patient specific devices. We are excited to enter this relationship with 3D-Side to provide our pediatric orthopedic customers access to the 3D-CUT products.”
 
3D-Side Co-CEO, Laurent Paul added, “Our partnership with OrthoPediatrics is based on a shared mission and commitment to limit the risks involved in surgery on medically challenged young patients. Because each patient is unique, we imagine dedicated solutions to fit their surgical needs. Thanks to the OrthoPediatrics partnership, we are thrilled to expand these well-established products in Europe to the USA and bring our expertise to pediatric orthopedic surgeons in the United States.”
