Partnership to accelerate EOS's adoption in the Japanese market
With the EOS platform, spine surgeon customers will have the ability to preoperatively and postoperatively visualize a patient's spine and lower limbs in a weight-bearing position in 2D and 3D. This allows surgeons to access valuable and precise anatomical information and support their diagnosis, therapeutic strategy, and operative plan with relevant images and patient data. The imaging equipment and associated software of the EOS platform supports the patient care pathway with unique 2D/3D data at a dose that's as low as reasonably achievable.
The co-marketing agreement is exclusive for the Japanese market and establishes a systematic way of marketing Medtronic's technologies with the EOS imaging platform through marketing collateral, trade show booths, visiting surgeon programs, symposiums and joint sales efforts. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging said, "Japan is a very important market that we are pleased to address with Medtronic. Our corporate missions and solutions are very complementary, and we expect excellent outcomes from the synergies and benefits of partnering. The combination of Medtronic's portfolio with our unique low-dose imaging and 3D-planning solutions will provide patients in Japan with innovative solutions for the treatment of their spinal pathologies."
