September 27, 2022 By SPINEMarketGroup

MALDEN, MASS. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 27, 2022–Effective September 15, 2022 NANISX LLC, a spine medical device company excelling in developing less exposure surgery (LES) technologies in spine surgeries for ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) has announced that the firm has appointed former Medtronic, and Nuvasive sales executive, David Flickinger MBA as their new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

“I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to build on the legacy and leadership of these KICVentures Group portfolio companies, NanoFuse Biologics, InSpan and Sacrix, now combined to be known as NANISX LLC. As an ever-greater number of spine procedures transition to the outpatient setting, we are among the first to focus our cutting-edge techniques and technologies for the ASC ecosystem to lead in improving less invasive care for patients. I’m looking forward to bringing the leadership and commercial expertise required for these therapies to reach their full potential.”

We’re looking to build out a team that shares both our vision and urgency to rapidly scale and execute on this incredible opportunity to improve patient lives. We are driven to build NANISX as the leading ASC spine company that develops world-class products plus delivers an unmatched physician to physician education experience which empowers rapid adoption of safe, effective, and highly reproducible procedures with great outcomes.

About David Flickinger
Mr. Flickinger has been in leadership positions at public companies such as Medtronic (MDT), Nuvasive (NUVA) and has held numerous sales leadership roles at Surgalign (SRGA) since its formation in 2020. He has proven experience in the spine and orthobiologics industry with influence on the buy and sell side of strategic mergers and acquisitions, management, development and deployment of strategic opportunities, the formation of distributor alliances and commercializing Coflex interspinous device and other innovative medical devices to the spine market.

Prior to a career in healthcare, David was an Infantry Officer in the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a Platoon Commander and Company Executive Officer with 3d Battalion 1st Marine Division.
