IMPLANET (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0013470168, eligible for PEA-PME), a medical technology company specializing in implants for orthopedic surgery and the distribution of advanced medical equipment, today announced the acceleration of its commercialization strategy for cobotic solutions in orthopedic surgery with the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement with TINAVI Medical for the TiRobot® spine surgery system.
Ludovic Lastennet, IMPLANET’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Following our partnership with Sanyou Medical and in line with our strategic plan, the signing of this exclusive distribution agreement with TINAVI Medical Technologies, a Chinese manufacturer and leading player in surgical robotics, strengthens Implanet’s positioning as a provider of comprehensive solutions for spine surgeons. This agreement also paves the way for the next stages in autonomous surgeon-assistance technologies, enabling more precise, faster procedures while enhancing patient safety."
Kevin Liu, Marketing and Business Development Director of TINAVI, added: "In addition to the distribution agreements in China concluded with Sanyou Medical, we are delighted to sign this agreement with Implanet. Combining robotics with Implanet’s implant offering will allow us to create synergies, making our two companies key players in the spine surgery market. "
This commercial partnership between Implanet and Tinavi will enable the synergy of both groups’ technological and R&D expertise. It strengthens Implanet’s product offering by incorporating the latest advances and innovations in spine surgery (including deformity treatment systems, minimally invasive ranges, robotics, and artificial intelligence, etc.).
The TiRobot® from Tinavi was developed by surgeons, for surgeons. It is an autonomous cobot that is not fixed to the operating table, allowing the surgeon to make continuous adjustments throughout the procedure according to surgical needs and patient movements. The TiRobot® provides an automated guidance system during surgery and can address most spinal pathology indications. Future updates will soon enable its use in other orthopedic surgical specialties, such as hip, knee, and shoulder prosthesis implantation, as well as in trauma surgery.
