Osteotec and TriMed Enter Distribution Agreement

Osteotec, a leading UK manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, has entered a strategic distribution partnership with TriMed, Inc., a medical device company based in Valencia, CA.
 
This collaboration signifies a major advance in Osteotec’s mission to extend the reach of its product portfolio across the United States, with a special focus on delivering its flagship product, the Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant.
 
The strategic alliance between Osteotec and TriMed, Inc., is expected to make the Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant widely available across the United States for the first time, accelerating growth and contributing to significant sales and revenue increases. 
 
“TriMed is not only one of the leading innovators in the field of orthopaedics but shares our
commitment to exceptional customer service and providing surgeons with options that improve patient outcomes,” said Osteotec Sales and Marketing Director Dean Stockwell. “Osteotec has successfully distributed the TriMed upper extremity portfolio in the UK for more than a decade, and we are proud to build on this long-term partnership to expand access to our products in the United States.”
 
The Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant is a one-piece, flexible silicone elastomer implant designed to improve the function of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints disabled by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or joint trauma and reduce pain in affected joints.
 
It is available in 11 sizes and supplied sterile. The Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant is placed in the proximal and distal intramedullary canals of either MCP or PIP joints during arthroplasty.
 
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant and instrumentation has been in clinical use in the UK for more than 20 years and has been sold in more than a dozen markets across six continents since it was launched in 2004.
 
“We’re excited to be offering the Osteotec Silicone Finger Implant to our customers across the United States, and to be bringing another tried and tested product to the market that provides surgeons with more solutions,” said TriMed Senior Vice President Jon Mills. “We think that our team, customers, and their patients will benefit from this successful collaboration, and it will also create even more opportunities for growth and ongoing success.”
