IMPLANET announced the signing of a distribution agreement for its JAZZ® range in China and a technology partnership with Shanghai Sanyou Medical Co, Ltd. The commercial agreement signed covers the distribution of Implanet's JAZZ® platform by Sanyou Medical in China. China is the world's spine surgery market in terms of volume, with 15,000 pediatric scoliosis surgeries and 750,000 adult surgeries performed per year1. Implanet intends to take advantage of Sanyou Medical's leadership in its domestic market as the second Chinese manufacturer of medical devices for spine surgery to deploy its solutions on a long-term basis.

The registration of Implanet's proprietary JAZZ® range with the Chinese health authorities is also underway.
