“We are pleased by our ability to deliver nearly 20% organic revenue growth over the course of 2021, despite relentless pandemic-related disruptions on spine surgery volumes, which more recently are increasingly the result of hospital staffing shortages,” said Keith Valentine, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe it is our continued investment in innovative spinal implant systems, procedural outcome data on our advanced DBM products and disruptive technologies, such as the 7D FLASH™ Navigation System, that has enabled SeaSpine to be one of the few spine companies to consistently grow revenue since the initial wave of the pandemic. I’m proud of the resiliency of this entire organization to stay focused on our mission to improve clinical outcomes, reduce costs and put surgeon and patient safety first.”
