Palacos

Dont even be worried. The Palacos leadership is ex-Stryker Foot and Ankle guys. They will do nothing to keep the business, we will convert all of it or most of it. What a terrible move they did by getting rid of our distribution agreement. In Colorado the have some ex-Athrex distributors (Helm Surgical) and the Stryker trauma guys ( Lee Petrides) selling it. Conflict of interest by the Stryker trauma team selling against Simplex and hiding behind the Helms.

Wow, Lee Petrides. Haven’t seen that name in awhile. I remember back in the day at a sales meeting in Vegas he ran up a tab to the tune of almost $40k at some nightclub. And this definitely is not fake news. Ask anyone who was around him then......
 












The Palacos leadership is former ZB leadership.

Palacos isn't the only company that has left the ZB distribution relationship and better off for it.

Cerament walked away too. For good reason.

The management team in place at ZB doesn't understand the marketplace or surgeon relationships. They understand spreadsheets.
