We are energized by the momentum in our business and the recent launch of aprevo® cervical, with highly encouraging early surgeon feedback for our patient-specific cervical solution. In 2026, we anticipate growing recognition and adoption of aprevo® as a platform technology that we believe is capable of transforming surgical standards and patient outcomes in spine fusion."
