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


IMPLANET (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0013470168, eligible for PEA-PME equity savings plans), a medical technology company specializing in implants for orthopedic surgery and the distribution of technological medical equipment, today announces its full-year 2024 revenue and cash position as of December 31, 2024.

Ludovic Lastennet, IMPLANET’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The strong commercial performance achieved in the second half of 2024, with 66% growth compared to the same period last year, underscores the effectiveness of the development model implemented at the start of 2024. Building on our expertise in spine surgery and the synergy between our product ranges, the combination of implant sales with the distribution of high-value medical equipment has significantly increased our sales across strategic markets. While the first half of 2024 was impacted by a slowdown in international activity, we are now reaping the benefits of our investments in the United States and are more convinced than ever of the strong growth potential of our solutions in this region. With the support of our key shareholder, Sanyou Medical, we intend to sustain this growth momentum by expanding our product offerings and continuing our innovation strategy.”
