Lund, Sweden, 08.00 CET, 5 March 2018 – BONESUPPORT™, an emerging leader in innovative injectable bio-ceramic bone substitute products to treat bone voids caused by trauma, infection, disease or related surgery based on its unique CERAMENT® platform announces that it will present at the Canaccord Musculoskeletal Conference on Tuesday 6 March at 10.00 am EST in New Orleans, US
Patrick O’Donnell, General Manager & Executive Vice President of Commercial Operations US, will present at the Conference. His presentation will provide an overview of the Company’s proprietary CERAMENT platform and its products which provide clear benefits to patients, surgeons and payors through their ability to remodel to host bone and to protect the healing process from infection in the case of CERAMENT® G&V*. Reducing infection rates in orthopedic surgery is a key objective in order to decrease the patient’s length of stay and the number of readmissions following the primary procedure.
The presentation will also cover recent progress made with the Company’s growth strategy which is focused on driving the sales of BONESUPPORT’s currently marketed products, generating further clinical data to drive their adoption in major indications such as trauma and revision arthroplasty and completing the FORTIFY study which is designed to support a planned Premarket Approval (PMA) filing with CERAMENT G in 2020.
BONESUPPORT™ intends to have a number of one on one investor meetings at the Canaccord Musculoskeletal Conference.
BONESUPPORT™ will also be exhibiting at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2018 Annual Meeting, which takes place from 6-10 March in New Orleans, US.
