Adam Deitz, CEO of Ortho Kinematics said, “We are pleased to raise these funds in today’s challenging financing environment. We believe it’s a testament to the strong potential of our technology to improve patient outcomes. We are already working with highly regarded spine clinicians who understand the dire need for improved spine diagnostic capabilities. Our company now has the resources and commitment necessary to expand commercialization plans.”
The company has recently relocated to Austin, Texas and embarked on a limited rollout of their KineGraph VMA(TM) technology. This rollout will provide important clinical data and feedback while providing a growing set of clinicians the ability to get hands-on experience with the technology in a clinical research setting.
