BALTIMORE, March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — DT MedTech, LLC (DTMT) announced today that it has successfully completed the acquisition of ownership of the Hintermann Series lower extremity device product line. Developed by prominent surgeon, Professor Beat Hintermann, this exceptional product line includes:
(1) the Hintermann Series H3™ 3-piece Total Ankle Replacement prosthesis (formerly known as the HINTEGRA Total Ankle Replacement prosthesis), including a revision platform, and a system available for patients with sensitivities to Cobalt-Chrome alloys; (2) the Kalix® II, a subtalar arthroereisis implant to treat flatfoot deformities; and (3) instrumentation and consumables to support the implantable devices.
As of May 1, 2016, DTMT will have the exclusive rights to manufacture, distribute, import, export, market, and sell the entire Hintermann Series product line worldwide, without restriction.
