OrthAlign enters distribution agreement with Lima France
OrthAlign Inc. announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Lima France for its Total Knee Arthroplasty technology, KneeAlign.
“In order to better provide our customers with effective technology and to best address the needs of French surgeons, we have chosen OrthAlign’s KneeAlign system as our alignment technology of choice,” Thierry Cassat, general manager of Lima France, stated in a press release. “This system effectively differentiates our product offering in the French marketplace and addresses those immediate needs of our surgeons.”
According to a press release, KneeAlign provides both tibial and distal femoral navigation in a simple, palm-sized, single-use device and is compatible with all implant systems. It is accurate for overall mechanical, tibial and femoral component alignment in TKA, comparing favorably to large-console computer assisted surgery systems.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Lima France in providing French surgeons with full access to OrthAlign technology. Ultimately, we hope it helps to raise the standard of care in France for TKAs,” James Young Kim, vice president of marketing at OrthAlign, stated.
