Christopher C.

Despite this setback in January, coupled with the severe Texas Winter Storm in February that crippled Dallas and most of Texas, our Teams remained committed to our customers, and our elective case volumes are now trending above pre-pandemic levels. In light of these challenges, we have been successful in launching multiple new product lines, with several more launches scheduled throughout 2021. Q1 2021 also marked the beginning of our international expansion, with our first sales into the Australian marketplace.”

“We remain committed to growing our portfolio of innovative orthopedic and spinal devices, expanding our distribution footprint, and look forward to continuing this momentum throughout 2021 and beyond,” Mr. Reeg added.
