During the 1st quarter of 2017, Medicrea continued the major corporate restructuring initiated in 2016 with the permanent closure of the original La Rochelle site and the relocation of all manufacturing operations to the new ultra-modern facility in Rillieux-la-Pape, near Lyon. The Company is now well positioned to respond to new market opportunities.
This transfer involved a large part of the Company’s resources, which were also heavily involved in two successful certification audits conducted by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the marketing of implants in the United States and by LNE/G-MED (Working Group for the Evaluation of Medical Devices) for renewal of the CE marking.
Against this backdrop, Q1 sales remained stable compared to the same period of the previous year at €7 million.
Adoption of the Company’s UNiD™ technology continued over Q1 2017 with a 38% increase in surgeries utilizing patient-specific UNiD™ Rods in the United States compared to the same quarter of 2016.
