COMMERCIALIZATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE ORTHOPEDIC INDUSTRY
MARCH 2019 | VOLUME 2

This month’s recap highlights 510(k)s and a CE Mark announcement made from the AAOS exhibit hall floor. Learn what gained clearance in hip and knee joint replacement, spine and more. 

As we look back on conversations from AAOS and the Canaccord Genuity Musculoskeletal Conference, we highlight three companies preparing to launch very different intraoperative technologies.

In our latest Ask the Experts series, we're answering this question: in  complying with regulatory requirements, how and why should device companies avoid a “check-the-box” mentality, as opposed to a scientific-based approach?
FOCUS ON COATINGS

ASTM and ISO, with help from orthopedic companies, are pursuing coating standards.  Coatings have been used in orthopedics for decades, so why such a dialogue now? Industry insiders offer perspective.

The collaborative project between Numerate and Andre J. van Wijnen, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic, seeks to identify drug options for use in orthopedic implant surface coatings, including those for knees and hips. 

Jerry  Jurkiewicz, Chief Executive Officer of Orchid Orthopedic Solutions, explores the commercialization of orthopedic coatings, what's in development and what's in store for the future.
