National Medical Device Company Poised for Significant Growth
CTL Medical Corporation, a Dallas-based medical device manufacturing and service company, has announced the executive management team that will lead the organization into the next phase of its growth and success.
“We have a solid group of executives that we’ve brought into management roles,” said Daniel Chon, president and CEO of CTL. “Our team consists of some of the best of the best in our business, and I am confident that they will help us further extend our position as a leader in the medical device design and manufacturing industry.”
Earlier this year, CTL acquired RF Precision LLC, a Denton, Texas-based medical and dental equipment manufacturer, and AccelSPINE®, a nationally recognized medical device designer and manufacturer headquartered in Dallas, as part of its global growth strategy. To complete its recent synergistic moves, CTL just moved into a new 25,000-square foot facility in Dallas’ central suburb of Addison in order to better meet the needs of its customer base while serving the growing spine surgery hub in North Texas.
CTL designs develop and manufacture spinal implants and instruments tailored to fit the unique needs of surgeons and patients. Currently, the company has nine products: Degas Anterior Cervical Plate, Van Gogh Anterior Cervical Plate, Matisse ACIF Cage, Renoir Posterior Cervico-Thoracic Fixation, Picasso-II, MIS Spinal System, Raphael Pedicle Screw System, Cezanne TLIF Peek Cage (Curved), Cezanne-II TLIF Peek Cage (Bullet Tip) and Cezanne Disc Prep Set TLIF Disc Prep Instruments.
