Reeg, Chief Executive Officer of Fuse Medical, “As the rates for infection, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID -19 now appear to be on the decline, we are confident that the investment into our product portfolio development and launches of unique and clinically differentiated products in spine, biologics, orthopedics, and the foot and ankle markets will prove to be instrumental in securing our position as an emerging, relevant manufacturer of medical devices.”
