Treace Medical Concepts to Acquire Technology Enabling Patient Specific Instrumentation for Foot and Ankle Surgeries

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of hallux valgus (commonly known as bunions), today announced that it has signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of MIOS Marketing, LLC d/b/a RedPoint Medical3D (“RPM-3D”), a medical technology company offering pre-operative planning and patient-specific guides designed to deliver accurate surgical correction of deformities customized to the patient’s unique foot anatomy, for a purchase price of $20 million in an upfront cash payment, with up to $10 million in potential milestone payments.

Using patient CT scan data, RPM-3D applies innovative software technologies to develop a three-dimensional (3D) pre-operative plan for correcting the patient’s deformity and produce a 3D-printed, patient-specific cut guide designed to efficiently make accurate, corrective cuts. RPM-3D software and systems will be integrated with the Company’s instrumentation and implant systems in 2023, with commercial introduction of patient-specific products expected in the second half of 2024.  

“We believe there are excellent synergies with RPM-3D’s FDA cleared technologies and our Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures that strengthen our market leadership and accelerate our competitive differentiation, as we advance our mission to improve surgical outcomes for patients suffering from bunion and related midfoot deformities,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “RPM-3D’s 22 patent applications further expand and reinforce our market leading global IP portfolio covering technologies for the correction of bunion and related deformities. In addition, the RPM-3D purchase builds upon our acceleration in R&D initiatives that we announced in early 2022. These targeted R&D efforts are delivering an expanding portfolio of unique, problem-solving technologies for our customers and marketed through our direct, bunion-focused sales force,” Mr. Treace concluded.

This announcement follows the Company’s recently launched Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, SpeedRelease™ and TriTome™ Release Instruments, and S4A Anatomic Plating Kit; and its Micro-Lapiplasty™ Minimally Invasive System and SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implant System, which are expected for full commercial release in late 2023.
