Portfolio Company in The Trendlines Group Lands Distribution Agreement in Canada

ApiFix, a portfolio company of The Trendlines Group (SGX:42T; OTCQX:TRNLY) announced it signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Joint Solutions Alliance in Canada.
As quoted in the press release:

JSA’s primary focus pertains to finding medical devices that will allow surgeons to preserve motion, movement, and function where previously the only solution for the patient was to fuse. Following the agreement Dr. Ron El-Hawary, Chief of Orthopedics at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Canada, Society (SRS), performed two ApiFix implant surgeries. Dr. Randal Betz, former president of the Scoliosis Research, observed the operation.
ApiFix has invented and developed a non-fusion spinal implant system for the correction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). The implant system is inserted in a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The ApiFix system aims to improve the quality of life of patients who undergo scoliosis surgery, save hospitalization and OR time, and substantially reduce costs and recovery time associated with standard scoliosis surgery. In contrast to standard scoliosis surgery, the ApiFix system represents a game-changer in the market, with a spinal implant system, inserted in a short procedure, followed by a brief recovery period, and maintains spine flexibility.
