Current Process

Patient goes to the hospital with spine injury or for surgery

Outside O&P is called to fit the patient with a spine brace

Patient receives an off-the-shelf spine brace within an average of 24 to 48 hours

Hospital is charged on average 5x the cost of the product by outside O&P

Proposed Process

Patient goes to the hospital with spine injury or for surgery

Hospital staff fits the patient with Enovis spine brace from inventory

Option 1: If applicable, Enovis bills insurance for the brace dispensed to patient

Option 2: Hospital purchases the spine brace at contracted cost
