On the back of a successful five year partnership in the Australia & New Zealand market, Formus and Zimmer Biomet have agreed to a long term exclusive distribution agreement in Japan for Formus Hip - their AI-automated, 3D pre-operative planning software.
‘We have enjoyed working with the ANZ team for many years now, helping their reps and surgeons successfully plan and deliver over 3,500 THAs. Over that time, we’ve proven our system to be intuitive, efficient, and effective, going from scan-to-plan in under 60 minutes with no known adverse outcomes, ’ stated Ju Zhang (Formus Founder and CEO).
‘We have been working with the Japanese team for ~18 months, during which time we’ve conducted a number of evaluations with a range of Japanese surgeons and patients. We have listened and learned, and adapted the product to fit the unique needs of that market.’
‘We are hugely excited about the enormous opportunity in the Japan market. Partnering with the market leader in the world’s second largest orthopedic market will enable us to improve the lives of surgeons and patients at an enormous scale while bringing together an orthopaedic tech ecosystem that is second to none.’
