Meeting Between Sanatmetal and Latvian Trauma Specialists

On January 29, 2025, a significant meeting took place at Riga Islande Hotel, organized by SIA LATMED-PRO, a member of the GP Nord group. The event brought together Latvian hospital trauma specialists and representatives from Sanatmetal, a leading manufacturer of orthopedic and trauma products.

Presentation of Sanatmetal’s Offerings

Sanatmetal is a Hungarian family-owned company specializing in trauma surgery, spinal surgery, dental and veterinary implants, as well as large joint endoprostheses. During the meeting, they introduced their extensive range of products and solutions.

Introduction of New Products

The event included a presentation of Sanatmetal’s latest products, with a particular focus on the Magic Humerus and Magic Trochanter systems.

• Magic Humerus System – This intramedullary nail is designed to reduce radiation exposure during surgery, ensuring safer and more efficient procedures for both patients and surgeons.
• Magic Trochanter System – This advanced trochanteric system combines the benefits of existing trochanteric nails with innovative solutions. It offers intraoperative screw or spiral technique modifications, augmentation options, easy insertion with a lateral flat design, and X-ray-free distal locking with specialized fixation holes.

Addressing Hospital Needs and Consultations

Sanatmetal representatives engaged in discussions with Latvian hospital trauma specialists, addressing their specific needs and providing expert consultations on existing products.

A key topic was the prolonged use of devices beyond the recommended lifespan stated in product guidelines. Sanatmetal expressed willingness to replace such devices free of charge, ensuring that surgical procedures continue smoothly and safely without unnecessary delays.

Meeting Participants

• Sanatmetal was represented by Ádám Fodor, an international sales representative actively involved in the company’s global partnerships.
• LATMED-PRO was represented by Edgars Bružiks, a board member committed to developing the company and strengthening cooperation with medical institutions.

Future Collaboration and Development

During the discussions, it was noted that, following a recent change in ownership, LATMED-PRO had not yet received all necessary presentation and trial devices. As a result, an agreement was reached that LATMED-PRO will visit hospitals with an expanded selection of demonstration devices to ensure thorough product evaluation and testing.

Conclusion

The meeting concluded with a mutual commitment from all parties to continue close collaboration, aiming to enhance the equipment available to trauma departments in Latvian hospitals with modern and efficient solutions.

Such events strengthen the connection between manufacturers and healthcare institutions, promote innovation, and improve patient care standards.
