Ludovic LASTENNET, Implanet’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “In continuation of the capital increase we completed with the support of Sanyou Medical, we are proud to further strengthen the strategic partnership between our two groups, this time on a commercial and technological level. The distribution agreement we signed will enable us to market our entire JAZZ® range in China, the world’s largest market, and for which the regulatory files are already being initiated with the Chinese health authorities. On the technological side, this agreement enables us to leverage our respective expertise by jointly developing a new and innovative range of fixation systems for the Western markets. Lastly, the reconciliation we are making today with one of the largest manufacturers of medical devices in China will give us rapid access to leading technologies and know-how in the field of spinal surgery.”

China is the world’s largest spine surgery market in terms of volume, with 15,000 pediatric scoliosis surgeries and 750,000 adult surgeries performed per year1. Implanet intends to take advantage of Sanyou Medical’s leadership in its domestic market as the second largest Chinese manufacturer of medical devices for spine surgery to deploy its solutions on a long-term basis.
