Implanet Granted Major Patent for Jazz Lock® Implant in the United States

• The Jazz Lock^® band locking system, easy to use and unique, is now protected in the United States

BORDEAUX, France & BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:

IMPLANET (Paris:ALIMP) (OTCQX:IMPZY) (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0010458729, PEA-PME savings plans eligible; OTCQX: IMPZY), a medical technology company specializing in vertebral and knee-surgery implants, announces that its JAZZ Lock^® technology, which is an integral part of its JAZZ™ solutions platform, has been granted a patent in the United States.

A major component of the broadest range of band products on the market, JAZZ Lock^® is a multi-purpose implant designed to treat degenerative spine disorders. Thanks to its locking mechanism requiring no rod fixation, its use with a JAZZ Band polyester braid allows surgeons to shorten and simplify the surgical procedure by eliminating two steps used in traditional systems: locking screws and connecting rods.

Since its launch, Implanet has sold more than 1,700 JAZZ Lock^® devices, mainly for the treatment of degenerative spine disorders.

The new patent in the United States, a strategic and competitive market, is a valuable addition to Implanet’s JAZZ™ platform patent portfolio. The JAZZ Lock^® innovative locking mechanism, which requires no rod fixation, is an integral part of JAZZ Cap^®, a comprehensive, proprietary solution used to secure screws in poor quality bone, as required in 10-30% of vertebral fusion cases in adult patients¹.

Implanet CEO Ludovic Lastennet said: “We are continuing to execute our development strategy, in which protecting our innovations is a top priority. Protecting the JAZZ Lock^® intellectual property is crucial, as most of our future developments, including the JAZZ Cap^®, will leverage this technology. Along with our partners, we expect that JAZZ Cap^® coupled with JAZZ Lock^® will become the optimal alternative to cement augmented pedicle screws. The full-scale launch of this technology is scheduled for September, when a global presentation will be given at the annual meeting of the North American Spine Society (NASS) in Chicago.”

Forthcoming Implanet conferences:

– SRS (Scoliosis Research Society), September 18 -20, Montreal, Canada

– NASS (North American Spine Society), September 25-27, Chicago, USA
