Small implant with major savings potential.
Innovations in the health sector usually tend to first push costs higher. Some optimisation approaches of this kind only bring benefits after many years or even many decades of use. Not so with MAGNEZIX®: this innovation pays for itself very quickly.
The question all health insurance companies ask themselves: Is innovation affordable? The answer is clear: yes, THIS one is - and has even more benefits:
Estimates reveal that the savings alone from avoiding operations to remove material are worth up to several hundred million Euros in Germany alone. The macro-economic benefits of this new technology are therefore good news for everyone - patients, clinics, doctors and health insurance companies.
Leading health insurance companies in Germany recognized the advantages of the world's first approved metal implants, and are currently setting up pilot projects to determine the satisfaction of patients, doctors and insurance companies.
And in the international arena as well, politicians are endeavouring to use innovations to make their health services more efficient in the long term (for instance, Precision Medicine Initiative in the USA, Continuing Clinical Innovation Scheme in the United Kingdom).
Syntellix's current product portfolio is being continually expanded. The launching of new product lines will give rise to further palpable reductions in costs in future associated with orthopaedic surgery.
Conclusions: from the health insurance companies, employers' liability insurance schemes, army, or other funding agencies - we are here to help you reduce your costs!
We will be happy to put together a comprehensive package of information material for you, as well as present MAGNEZIX® to you personally.
