Technology and manufacturing company Curiteva, creator of the Inspired 3D-printed lumbar interbody fusion system, has appointed David Schmidt as chief commercial officer.
Mr. Schmidt has more than 20 years of experience in the spine industry, beginning his career by pioneering a startup that introduced one of the first-ever interbody fusion implants, according to an April 26 press release.
Following his role distributing spine implants, he spent 20 years at Medtronic managing the eastern half of the U.S. for enabling technology sales. He then joined Wright Medical, leading a team to drive sales in the foot and ankle market. Most recently, he oversaw sales and marketing initiatives for a small spine company.
In his new role, Mr. Schmidt will focus on Curiteva's mission to advance innovative technology in patient care.
