Jim Corbett, President and CEO of Alphatec Holdings Inc. (ATEC), announced a new product release at the Canaccord Genuity 34th Annual Growth Conference at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston.

Alphatec Spine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphatec Holdings, Inc., is a global provider of spinal fusion technologies.

The company and its affiliates market products in the U.S. and internationally via a direct sales force and independent distributors, he said.

Corbett introduced Arsenal, a new spinal fixation system providing a solution for complex degenerative conditions. It is in a limited market release. Alphatec has released four products in the last 12-18 months, including a method for harvesting bone graft.

Corbett said that the company expects large groups of products to be approved in Brazil and China, but sees the company’s biggest opportunity in the EU, “a market where all of our products are approved,” but without full participation in all of the countries there. While Alphatec has some direct operations in Italy and the UK, “we do intend to get those moving without aggressive spend-forward programs. Some markets we’ll enter, some we may convert.”

Corbett, who is new to the company, said the overall Alphatec focus is on “solid, repeatable execution focused on growth and improving operations.” He promised close tabs on keeping cash flow balance in check.
