The launch meeting of the Classic PediGuard in China, held at the XinRong booth, attracted more than 100 orthopedic surgeons.

“I was really impressed by the organization of this launch meeting, the quality of the presentations and the very large audience. This event confirmed that XinRong is the right partner for SpineGuard in China. The very dedicated and focused XinRong’s team is ready to embrace the commercialization of the Classic PediGuard in China thanks to their strong connection with the Chinese Key Opinion Leader surgeons and a performing network all across China to distribute its products.” said Patricia Lempereur, Director of International Sales and Marketing at SpineGuard. She added “XinRong is answering province tenders to initiate the PediGuard sales and we are intensively working together on a training and selling plan”.
“PediGuard launch meeting in COA was very successful. Chinese Surgeons and KOLs recognize the superiority of PediGuard for improving safety. Leveraging XinRong's strong distribution network and leading sales team, we believe that PediGuard will perform very well in the Chinese market,” added Stella Ren, Director of Business, XinRong Medical.

PediGuard probes can provide timely advance alerts to surgeons by accurately analyzing the electrical conductivity of the surrounding tissues in real time. It is more convenient - without any auxiliary equipment - and could also decrease X-ray exposure for patients. With the launch of PediGuard, we continue to strengthen our position of leadership and innovation in the spine market”, added by James He, Head of Strategic Marketing, XinRong Medical.
