SpineSmith Signs Distribution Agreement With WAVE Manufacturing
Posted on: Monday, 6 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
SpineSmith Partners, an orthopedic biotech company, has signed an exclusive national and global distribution agreement with WAVE Manufacturing of Toronto, Ontario, a Canadian company which focuses on manufacture, education, and training in vibration exercise technology.
The partnership between the two companies grants SpineSmith the exclusive rights to sell WAVE's pre-surgical vibration conditioning technology - effectively introducing the approach to the orthopedic and neurological marketplace.
The WAVE (whole-body advanced vibration exercise) system, allows patients with medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and arthritis to improve their fitness at a cellular level before spinal surgery.
According to Larry Leigh, director of research and training for WAVE, the company's vibration therapy helps speed up a patient's recovery time by recruiting more muscle fibers - thus increasing strength and circulation prior to surgery.
Kevin Dunworth, founder of SpineSmith, said: "This is all about creating the best healing environment for the patient, and Wave technology makes that possible. The most recent scientific literature indicates an up regulation of stem cells, hormones, and growth factors when a patient undergoes vigorous exercise. We believe the up regulation of stem cells will stimulate better surgical outcome."
