The effects of the reorganization of our US subsidiary are beginning to materialize, confirming the clinical value of our products as well as the capability of our local team to address this strategic market. In addition, our distribution business for medical equipment, particularly with the partnership signed with elliquence, is proving to be a genuine growth driver for the company.

With the support of our reference shareholder and partner Sanyou Medical, we intend to deploy our strategy to its full potential, gradually positioning IMPLANET as a key player in spine surgery."
