Providing Government agencies and our service members with access to cost-effective quality healthcare products.
West Palm Beach, FL – 11 July, 2023 – Academy Medical Inc. announced this week that the company has signed a distribution agreement with Accufix Surgical, Inc. for Accufix products. “Academy Medical is excited about our partnership with Accufix. Our mission is improving service member health by streamlining complex procurement processes, and this partnership will make these innovative products accessible to veterans” said John Campbell, a service-disabled veteran and Vice President, Government Affairs.
Effective today, this relationship will provide government customers with access to Accufix’s Accu-Joint® hemi implant. The Accu-Joint® hemi implant will allow veterans a better quality of life. Joint fusion is the most prevalent way to treat arthritis related joint disorders, but joint fusion is an irreversible procedure that should only be used as a last resort. While joint fusion does reduce toe joint pain, it also makes it difficult to bend the big toe. Other toe implants remove large amounts of bone and transfer your full body weight to the implant which can cause additional problems and more pain.
“Our solution simplifies the procurement process and we look forward to our partnership with Accufix to meet the Interventional Podiatric needs of the federal marketplace,” said Torrance Crawford, Army veteran and Chief Executive Officer.
Accufix Surgical CEO and Army veteran, John Evans, states, “Both Accufix and Academy are led by veterans – we have deep respect for the men and women of our Armed Forces. Our goal is to provide the best possible quality-of-life for vets who suffer from debilitating arthritis in their toes by reducing pain and enabling them to preserve an active lifestyle.”
