Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2016 -- OrthAlign, Inc., a privately held U.S. based medical device company developing precision technologies, announced today that it exceeded its total 2015 sales forecasts, growing by more than 50% versus 2014. OrthAlign has exceeded sales forecasts for the past three years.
Additionally, OrthAlign technology achieved another major milestone by completing its 40,000th KneeAlign® Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) case. This milestone reflects the continuing and rapid adoption of OrthAlign’s precision alignment technology by surgeons throughout the world.
