Ossis Ltd, which uses 3D printing technology to custom design titanium implants for patients with severely damaged bones and joints, is expanding to the UK.
The Christchurch-based company this year doubled monthly sales of the implants to four or five across New Zealand and Australia.
It's now in talks with a UK distributor to enter that market in the next few months, giving it a springboard to Europe, the second-largest market after the US.
"We'd be hoping to sell upwards of 100 a year easily in the UK market over time," said general manager Madeleine Martin.
The company will eventually look to place staff on the ground in Europe to liaise with the orthopaedic surgeons who make the call on whether to use the products, she said.
