RICHARDSON, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, February 6, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Gramercy Extremity Orthopedics (GEO®) receives US Patent No. 10,206,725 which covers a novel approach for Variable Angle Locking Technology, adding to the intellectual property GEO has established in this area.

Simpson, CEO and President of GEO. “This technology has the potential to improve the current variable angle locking technology in Orthopedics.”
