Safe Orthopaedics (Paris:ALSAF) (FR0013467123 – ALSAF), a company marketing innovative ready-to-use technologies (single-use implants and instruments) for spinal disease, delivering the safest treatment of spinal fractures, summarizes its strategy’s progress on industrial property.

To this day, the company holds a portfolio of nearly 100 delivered patents, covering mainly Europe, United States, China, Canada and Japan. In 2019, several patents for its inventions have been delivered in the United States (instruments kit: US 10,219,845 and preloaded screw: US 9,837,817, innovative pedicle screw: US 10,357,286), in Canada (logistics and traceability of products: CA 2,837,817) and in China on an innovative implant (CN106102617B). Furthermore, Safe Orthopaedics keeps innovating and extending its instrumentation range, with the filing of new patents for spine reduction systems in 2019.

The strength of SAFE ORTHOPAEDICS’ patents have just been confirmed by the European Patent Office (EPO) that has confirmed the validity of two patents (EP2854674 and EP2519179), against which the company Neo Medical had initiated an opposition procedure.
