Safe Orthopaedics (Paris:ALSAF) (FR0013467123 – ALSAF), a company marketing innovative ready-to-use technologies (single-use implants and instruments) for spinal disease, delivering the safest treatment of spinal fractures, summarizes its strategy’s progress on industrial property.

To this day, the company holds a portfolio of nearly 100 delivered patents, covering mainly Europe, United States, China, Canada and Japan. In 2019, several patents for its inventions have been delivered in the United States (instruments kit: US 10,219,845 and preloaded screw: US 9,837,817, innovative pedicle screw: US 10,357,286), in Canada (logistics and traceability of products: CA 2,837,817) and in China on an innovative implant (CN106102617B). Furthermore, Safe Orthopaedics keeps innovating and extending its instrumentation range, with the filing of new patents for spine reduction systems in 2019.

The strength of SAFE ORTHOPAEDICS’ patents have just been confirmed by the European Patent Office (EPO) that has confirmed the validity of two patents (EP2854674 and EP2519179), against which the company Neo Medical had initiated an opposition procedure.

The potential offered by the development of ready-to-use and single-use in spinal surgery has attracted new players and prompted the creation of numerous start-up companies, in Europe and in the United States.

On this high-growth market, Safe Orthopaedics claims its pioneer status, enhanced by the wide coverage and the strength of its patent portfolio, and a leader status in terms of market shares and scope of its product range, covering the main indications for spinal fracture care.

SAFE ORTHOPAEDICS relies on a strategy of constant innovation and on an industrial property policy protecting its business development.
