After the opening of Implanet UK, which along with its Jazz® platform has recently been approved by the UK’s National Health Service, and the opening of Implanet GmbH in Germany, this first surgery in Belgium demonstrates that Implanet is continuing to roll out its products directly in European markets.

“Jazz® technology is an excellent solution to be used in addition to screw fixation for preventing pullout in treating degenerative spine disease in adults. In pediatrics Jazz® can also be a replacement for screws in complex spinal deformities. The clinical benefit of Jazz® is undeniable, providing patients with additional safety. I am delighted to have access to the entire Jazz® product range at the University Hospital UZ Brussel, Belgium” says Dr David Van Schaik, orthopedic spine surgeon.

Ludovic Lastennet, CEO of Implanet, said: “This first surgery, which took place only shortly after we announced the opening of Implanet UK and Implanet GmbH in Germany, accelerates the roll-out of our direct sales strategy. We are confident that this model is the right one and will positively impact our earnings going forward.”
