ERAGNY-SUR-OISE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Safe Orthopaedics (Paris:ALSAF) (FR0013467123 - ALSAF), a company specialized in the design and marketing of ready-to-use technologies for spinal surgery, delivering the safest treatment of spinal fractures urgently treated, announces the regulatory approval of SteriSpine™ PS 2^nd Generation in Japan.

In July 2019, Safe Orthopaedics had announced the commercial launch of SteriSpine™ PS 2^nd Generation in Europe, and more specifically in the framework of direct distribution, in order to collect several feedbacks from clinical practice and document the effectiveness of this new generation of kit.

In October 2010, Safe Orthopaedics had announced the effectiveness of this new generation, confirmed by dozens of surgeries. More rigid, slimmer, still radio-transparent, it allows an even more mini-invasive approach and to be used on a larger range of spinal diseases.

Today, Safe Orthopaedics announces the regulatory approval of this new generation of kit by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). Locally distributed by our partner (partnership entered into on May 2018), Safe Orthopaedics predicts a quick adoption of this new generation and a rise in the number of surgeries, already well established, for the second half-year of 2020.

A shipment of hundreds of kits has been made in March and new deliveries are planned during the second quarter in order to make available this second generation of products to more hospitals and surgeons, as soon as the COVID-19 health crisis is over.
