Sanara MedTech Inc. (NASDAQ: SMTI)

Sanara MedTech Inc. is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing transformative technologies to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures in the surgical market. The company designs and markets soft tissue repair and bone fusion products intended for use in operating rooms and other sterile environments. Its product portfolio includes items such as CellerateRX Surgical a hydrolyzed collagen powder for wound management and BIASURGE a sterile no rinse irrigation solution. The firm also offers bone graft materials like BiFORM and ALLOCYTE Plus to support bony integration across graft sites. Sanara MedTech Inc. relies on contract manufacturers for production and maintains an internal research and development team to drive innovation. In addition the company has pursued an exclusive license agreement with Tufts University to develop new collagen peptide based technologies although it is in the process of terminating that agreement to concentrate on its core surgical offerings. The firm’s strategy centers on a three pillar approach described as Prepare Promote and Protect which guides product development and clinical application.

Sanara MedTech Inc. generates revenue primarily from the sale of its surgical products to hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. The company's main sources of income are soft tissue repair items such as CellerateRX Surgical and BIASURGE and bone fusion products including BiFORM and ALLOCYTE Plus. Although the firm previously derived a smaller portion of revenue from its value based wound care services initiative known as Tissue Health Plus that segment has been discontinued and its results are now reported as discontinued operations. Consequently current revenue stems almost exclusively from the sale of surgical implants and related consumables to providers performing orthopedic spine trauma and other procedures. The company also earns modest amounts from the distribution of its products through third party wholesalers who resell to surgical facilities. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the goods to the customer typically at the point of delivery or when the product is made available for use in the operating room.

The company operates through the following segment: the Sanara Surgical segment.
