Becker's ASC Review

36 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING 2 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING SPONSORED BY More than medtech: How Enovis' innovation and provider partnerships are shaping the continuum of care Enovis™ is leading the way for the medical technology sector. Employing an intentional blend of innovation, continuous improvement and provider collaboration over the last four decades, the company has created future-shaping technologies that are delivering extraordinary outcomes. Becker's Healthcare recently spoke with three Enovis executives — Matt Trerotola, chief executive officer; Terry Ross, president of bracing and supports; and Louie Vogt, president of surgical — about the company's commitment to creating the "next generation of possible" for healthcare partners and patients. Continuous improvement doesn't happen in silos Enovis develops clinically differentiated solutions that generate better patient outcomes and transform healthcare workflows. The Enovis Growth Excellence (EGX™) system forms the foundation of the company's drive for continuous improvement. "EGX is a proven business model that provides the tools, processes and culture to drive and fuel our growth," Mr. Trerotola said. "In addition to our passionate focus on continuous improvement, we've successfully built a strong reputation as an innovator through partnerships with healthcare professionals and their patients." Great work can't happen when individuals work alone in silos. The notion of Creating Better Together TM is a key element in Enovis' organizational DNA. For decades, Enovis has developed integrated medical technologies that fuel active lifestyles in orthopedics and beyond. "Through collaboration with leading healthcare partners and a deep commitment to extraordinary results, we make groundbreaking products, services and software that work throughout the orthopedic continuum of care," Mr. Trerotola said. "This makes it easier than ever for healthcare providers to help patients, reduce costs and streamline workflows." Innovation is essential for orthopedic devices that support the entire patient journey Enovis offers comprehensive solutions for a wide array of orthopedic patients, ranging from individuals who need reconstructive surgery like knee or shoulder replacements, to people who need assistance with injury prevention or injury recovery. In the reconstruction market, Enovis has revolutionized total knee replacements with the EMPOWR 3D Knee®. This is the only dual-pivot knee implant that replicates natural joint motion. "Before EMPOWR™, we knew that knee patients weren't getting the results they wanted following surgery," Mr. Trerotola said. "We partnered with renowned orthopedic surgeons such as Michael Meneghini i , MD of the Indiana Joint Replacement Institute and Scott Banks i , PhD from the University of Florida to develop a breakthrough knee replacement technology that would make patients feel more like they had their own knee." Shoulder replacement is another area where Enovis is a leader in the reconstruction market. Enovis and Mark A. Frankle i , MD of the Florida Orthopaedic Institute partnered on design, development, research and continued refinement of the Reverse® Shoulder System with the flagship AltiVate Reverse® brand, which Mr. Vogt said has "revolutionized" shoulder arthroplasty. "This groundbreaking medical technology now has 10 years of proven clinical data showing no decline in patient outcomes," he said. Both the EMPOWR 3D Knee and the AltiVate Reverse Shoulder System have become very popular among orthopedic surgeons. "We have quickly vaulted to becoming a top shoulder joint company in the United States," Mr. Vogt said. "Knee sales have been growing three to five times faster than the market overall for almost 10 consecutive years." In the prevention and recovery segment, Enovis also has a track record of more than 40 years of innovation. The company invented bracing products through the DonJoy® brand and then acquired Aircast® for bracing of lower extremities and Exos® for flexible shaping casting. "New manufacturing techniques and new materials enable us to make lighter-weight, more comfortable braces and still provide the structural integrity needed to support patient outcomes," Mr. Ross said. "In the end, the brace that patients will wear is the brace that will help them." Although Enovis is recognized for its outstanding orthopedic devices and durable medical equipment, the company also focuses on the broader patient journey. "We collaborate with so many different healthcare professionals that work with patients throughout the care journey," Mr. Ross said. "That
