Revenue for the 4th quarter of 2019 amounted to 8.4 million euros, the best quarter ever on a comparable basis. In 2019, total sales reached 32.7 million euros, up +11% compared to the same period of the previous year. The American, Belgian and French markets are fueling this growth, complemented by the development of the activity in Australia. 
MEDICREA®’s development in 2019 can be analyzed above all by the breakthrough of its strategic UNiD ASI™ activity of preoperative surgical planning and design of patient-specific implants. Each quarter setting a record compared to the previous one, the 4th quarter of 2019 definitively anchors this trend with 525 personalized surgeries performed, up +40% compared to the 4th quarter of 2018 and + 50% in the United States alone over the same period.
In 2019, more than 1,850 surgeries with MEDICREA® patient-specific implants were performed, an overall increase of + 48% compared to 2018 and + 55% for the US market alone.
The objective of 5,000 cumulative surgeries at the end of 2019 was exceeded (5,040 surgeries performed) and the current trend should allow the Company to report a significant increase in the use of its UNiD ASI™ technology in 2020.
“Our UNiD ASI™ platform and the associated analysis, planning and design services for patient-specific implants enable us to offer surgeons today a unique solution that increases their potential for the treatment of spinal pathologies. There is no longer any doubt that Artificial Intelligence, predictive modeling and personalized implants are the future of spine surgery. MEDICREA® was able to detect this development very early on. The market has moved from the era of standard products to that of service platforms and patient-specific products.
“We have over 100 surgeons in the United States using UNiD ASI™ technology, 50 of whom have adopted it this year. The potential, in terms of number of users and associated turnover, is extremely large and will support growth over 2020,” commented Denys Sournac, President and CEO of MEDICREA®.
In recent years, MEDICREA® has revolutionized personalized spinal surgery. Its disruptive ideas and innovative patient-specific technologies are shaping a new business model by combining implants, high-precision patient analysis, and preoperative planning guided by proprietary Artificial Intelligence technology enriched with each new patient operated on. MEDICREA® is the pioneer and world leader in this new personalized approach to spinal treatment.
