With this partnership Medartis takes a significant step toward becoming a complete solution provider in its strong hand and wrist segment, adding hand and wrist joint replacement products to its current trauma portfolio.

Under the agreement, Medartis receives exclusive distribution rights in select markets, among others in the U.S., Germany, Austria, U.K. and Australia.
The transaction will also address development of small joint arthroplasty and upper extremity soft tissue fixation, with possible opportunities in lower extremities.
