CurvaFix Expands National Market Access - Awarded Technology Breakthrough Designation With Premier Inc. for General Orthopedic Trauma Products

Approximately two-thirds of all healthcare providers in the U.S. to have access to CurvaFix®, advancing innovative pelvic fracture fixation that supports faster recovery and mobility

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CurvaFix, Inc., a developer of medical devices to repair fractures in curved bones, today announced it has been awarded a Technology Breakthrough Designation for General Orthopedic Trauma Products with Premier, Inc. Premier offers Breakthrough Technology designations to innovations that offer a major advantage in terms of patient safety, clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies.

“Being awarded a Premier Technology Breakthrough Designation represents a major step forward for CurvaFix, as Premier’s extensive GPO network offers unmatched national scale and reach, enabling more hospitals and health systems to adopt our innovative fixation technology,” said Mark Foster, CEO of CurvaFix. “This expanded market access positions us well to deliver clinical and economic value, thereby supporting providers with cost-effective solutions while helping patients return to mobility and quality of life after they have suffered pelvic fractures.”

The CurvaFix System is purpose-built to expand surgical options in challenging fracture scenarios, including curved or narrow pelvic corridors, pathological bone, intersecting fixation pathways, and indwelling and adjacent hardware.

“Premier’s network includes thousands of hospitals and health systems across the U.S.,” continued Foster. “By being a Premier vendor, we can deliver our technology to care teams on a national scale, helping providers control costs while bringing patients advanced solutions that improve their recovery journey significantly.”

Clinical experience has shown that the CurvaFix technology provides strong, stable fixation that follows and fills the natural curvature of each patient’s anatomy. This unique approach may reduce pain, support earlier mobility, and improve recovery compared to conventional straight implants. As such, patients who previously were unable to walk without pain after a pelvic fracture may regain the ability to stand and walk comfortably again following the CurvaFix procedure.
