SINGAPORE, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire OSSIS, a privately-held medical device company that specializes in personalized 3D printed implants, as well as complex hip replacements, including second-time hip replacements and replacements involving bone tumors and trauma.
OSSIS provides rapid design and production of personalized implants that align with Zimmer Biomet's commitment to providing personalized experiences, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. This acquisition demonstrates Zimmer Biomet's commitment to advancing innovation in the medical technology industry and strengthens the Company's position as a global medical technology leader.
