PARIS & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SpineGuard (FR0011464452 – ALSGD), an innovative company that develops and markets disposable medical devices designed to make spine surgery safer, reported today that its first-quarter 2017 revenue grew by 23%, to €2.2 million.
Pierre Jérôme, CEO and co-founder of SpineGuard, said: “In line with former quarters, SpineGuard is starting 2017 with strong growth driven by great momentum in the US and the traction of PediGuard Threaded, the latest addition of our smart, single-use drilling probes. This is very promising given that our DSG integration module for ‘single-step’ screw insertion is in limited release and therefore not yet significantly contributing to our revenue.”
Global revenue in the first quarter of 2017 increased 23% to €2,169k, compared with €1,760k in the first quarter of 2016. At constant exchange rate (cc), the growth rate was 20%.
2,397 PediGuard units were sold in the first quarter of 2017 compared with 2,134 in the first quarter of 2016, including 1,377 (57%) in the United States, where revenue grew 30% (25% cc) to €1,901k compared with €1,377k.
