BELLEVUE, Wash. — CurvaFix, Inc., a medical device company focused on repairing fractures in curved bones, has been awarded a Technology Breakthrough Designation for General Orthopedic Trauma Products by Premier Inc. The designation expands CurvaFix’s national market access, enabling its innovative pelvic fixation system to reach approximately two-thirds of all healthcare providers in the United States through Premier’s extensive group purchasing organization (GPO) network.
“Being awarded a Premier Technology Breakthrough Designation represents a major step forward for CurvaFix, as Premier’s extensive GPO network offers unmatched national scale and reach, enabling more hospitals and health systems to adopt our innovative fixation technology,” said Mark Foster, CEO of CurvaFix. “This expanded market access positions us well to deliver clinical and economic value, thereby supporting providers with cost-effective solutions while helping patients return to mobility and quality of life after they have suffered pelvic fractures.”
The CurvaFix System is designed to address complex pelvic fracture scenarios by providing strong, stable fixation that conforms to the natural curvature of each patient’s pelvic anatomy. The device expands treatment options in cases involving curved or narrow pelvic corridors, pathological bone, intersecting fixation pathways, or existing hardware. By following and filling the natural curvature of the bone, the system may help reduce pain and promote earlier mobility compared to conventional straight implants.
“Premier’s network includes thousands of hospitals and health systems across the U.S.,” Foster added. “By being a Premier vendor, we can deliver our technology to care teams on a national scale, helping providers control costs while bringing patients advanced solutions that improve their recovery journey significantly.”
Clinical experience suggests that CurvaFix’s unique approach may restore mobility for patients who previously struggled to stand or walk without pain after a pelvic fracture. The system represents a promising advancement in orthopedic trauma care, offering a new option for challenging cases that require customized fixation.
