(“OrthoPediatrics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KIDS), a company focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, today announced an exclusive distribution agreement with OSSIO, Inc. (“OSSIO”) that brings U.S. children’s hospitals nationwide a bio-integrative, metal-free fixation technology ideally suited for treatment of fractures and deformities in pediatric patients. After performing their fixation function, OSSIOfiber® implants are gradually replaced by the patient’s newly formed bone during the natural healing process. This technological advance in material science decreases the need for hardware removal surgeries that pediatric patients who initially receive metal implants usually receive. “Existing fixation technology requires pediatric orthopedic surgeons to consistently remove their patients’ metal implants in a second surgery that adds cost and risk,” said Joe Hauser, President of Trauma and Deformity at OrthoPediatrics. “OSSIOfiber implants reduce the rate of these secondary procedures by doing away with metal. From a strategic perspective, partnering with OSSIO expands our reach and capabilities with a revolutionary technology that complements OrthoPediatrics’ current product offering, allowing us to address more unmet pediatric needs while strengthening the company’s long-term growth potential.” OSSIOfiber implants are made from a proprietary blend of natural mineral fibers that provide initial fixation strength comparable to traditional metal implants while safely and completely integrating into the patient’s own bone tissue within 18–24 months post-implantation, leaving no hardware behind.
