  • Procedure-specific and BioBrace® products driving orthopedic growth
  • Lower costs related to a new warehouse system implementation

Outlook

Orthopedic and AirSeal products are key growth drivers. The company will continue investing in new product development and managing costs. Resolution of legal disputes over the coming year could provide further income.
