PONTE VEDRA, Fla., June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of hallux valgus (commonly known as bunions), today announced that it has signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of MIOS Marketing, LLC d/b/a RedPoint Medical3D (“RPM-3D”), a medical technology company offering pre-operative planning and patient-specific guides designed to deliver accurate surgical correction of deformities customized to the patient’s unique foot anatomy, for a purchase price of $20 million in an upfront cash payment, with up to $10 million in potential milestone payments.

Using patient CT scan data, RPM-3D applies innovative software technologies to develop a three-dimensional (3D) pre-operative plan for correcting the patient’s deformity and produce a 3D-printed, patient-specific cut guide designed to efficiently make accurate, corrective cuts. RPM-3D software and systems will be integrated with the Company’s instrumentation and implant systems in 2023, with commercial introduction of patient-specific products expected in the second half of 2024.

“We believe there are excellent synergies with RPM-3D’s FDA cleared technologies and our Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures that strengthen our market leadership and accelerate our competitive differentiation, as we advance our mission to improve surgical outcomes for patients suffering from bunion and related midfoot deformities,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “RPM-3D’s 22 patent applications further expand and reinforce our market leading global IP portfolio covering technologies for the correction of bunion and related deformities. In addition, the RPM-3D purchase builds upon our acceleration in R&D initiatives that we announced in early 2022. These targeted R&D efforts are delivering an expanding portfolio of unique, problem-solving technologies for our customers and marketed through our direct, bunion-focused sales force,” Mr. Treace concluded.

About Treace Medical Concepts

Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 65 million Americans, of which Treace estimates 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. Treace has pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ System – a combination of instruments, implants, and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all 3 planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. Treace expanded its offering with the Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of the midfoot to provide further support to hallux valgus patients.
