ORTHOPAEDIC OUTREACH SPONSOR

Synthes is a leading international medical device company, specializing in the development, manufacturing and marketing of instruments and implants for the surgical treatment of bones (osteosynthesis). Synthes is active worldwide and employs about 5,600 highly dedicated staff.

In the osteosynthesis market, Synthes has enjoyed a successful 45-year co-operation with the AO/ASIF, the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation. Synthes has the exclusive distribution rights to products bearing the well-known Synthes® brand name. Synthes’ activities also include new technologies such as implant coatings, synthetic bone replacement materials and bioresorbable implants.

Working closely together with surgeons in hospitals all over the world, Synthes’ product development teams of scientists, engineers and product managers identify real clinical needs. This know-how provides the basis for developing high-quality products with increased benefits for patients, surgeons and OR staff. One more important aspect of the continuing Synthes-AO partnership is working with surgeons in the developing world, assisting countries where access to modern technology and treatment methods are unavailable.

Synthes in Australia and New Zealand are very committed to under-developed countries and have provided assistance and educational training for local surgeons as well as donating instruments and implants to enable them to use the skills they have learned through our educational effort.
