Exactech has begun a preferred relationship with Italian company Permedica to distribute Permedica’s 3D-printed cup, as well as ceramic, vitamin E cross-linked, and dual mobility liners in Spain. The company also offers a range of stem options.
“The addition of these products strengthens our position in the Spanish market by providing us access to a complete European hip portfolio. I look forward to the opportunity to serve more patients with these complementary implants,” Nicolas Hohl, director of sales and market development for EMEA at Exactech toldthe press.
“This partnership enhances our national Spanish position in the recon business, providing significant opportunities for both Exactech and Permedica to grow together in the coming years,” said Permedica sales manager Federico Perego. “Moreover, the goal of this important agreement is to promote quality products and build solid bases to further spread innovative solutions that can help more patients.”
Permedica’s TRASER technology uses selective laser melting to create implants by printing them layer by layer with TiAl4V powder.
“Initial and long-term fixation and osseointegration are key to restoring hip joint function,” said Dr C. Esteve Balzola, chief of the orthopedic and traumatology department of the Hospital del Vendrell in Tarragona, who was among the first to use the product in the country. “The Jump Cup Traser technology helps achieve this objective and provides intraoperative flexibility with various options in friction couples and the possibility of dual mobility.”
