Exactech Australia to distribute the complete Mobelife portfolio,
including Mobelife’s GleniusTM glenoid
reconstruction system for shoulder reconstruction surgeries
LEUVEN, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 2015--
Mobelife, a Materialise company specializing in customized implant
design and production for challenging bone and joint reconstruction
surgery, is proud to announce a collaboration with Exactech Australia,
which will bring Mobelife’s complete portfolio of custom implants to the
Australian market. Included in this portfolio is Mobelife’s solution for
complex glenoid reconstructions in the shoulder, named Glenius.
As the exclusive independent distributor of Exactech Inc. in the
Australian market, Exactech Australia is dedicated to providing
innovative products and intuitive instrumentation as well as delivering
on Exactech’s promise of being "Surgeon focused, patient driven".
Through their partnership with Mobelife, Exactech Australia will be able
to expand their innovative portfolio of hip and shoulder solutions to
specialist surgeons in Australia. Of key importance to Mobelife is that
this partnership will maintain the close and dynamic collaboration
between the surgeon and Mobelife’s expert team, a key aspect in the
design process of both aMace and Glenius hip and shoulder implants,
which is completely personalized to both the patient and surgeon.
Tim Clijmans, co-founder and CEO of Mobelife and Director of Global
Clinical Direct Sales at Materialise, states, “Mobelife is proud to
offer all-in-one unique solutions matching the patient's anatomy and
pathology as well as the surgeon's needs in many countries, so it is
exciting to now be bringing our full portfolio to Australian surgeons
and their patients with Exactech Australia. Given Exactech’s leadership
in upper-extremities, it is especially exciting to collaborate with its
distributor to bring our novel shoulder reconstruction solution to the
region.”
Oliver Johannessen, General Manager of Exactech Australia says, “As a
company founded by an orthopedic surgeon, Exactech is uniquely attuned
to addressing the clinical challenges that surgeons face. Mobelife’s
customized acetabular revision and glenoid reconstruction implants
answer today’s surgeon needs for an increasing amount of complex
surgeries and thereby complement our drive to improve patient outcomes.
We look forward to bringing Mobelife’s innovative implant portfolio
directly to surgeons and their patients in Australia.”
