This evidence, generated not by Titan itself but by other organizations involved with procedures where patients have devices implanted, such as hospitals, puts the company in a “unique position” where it can “look at its [own] results versus everyone else in the industry,” Ullrich says.
“[Insurers] generally trust real-world evidence as generated by other parties more than by companies that are generating it themselves,” he adds.
Even though sales outside the U.S. represented less than 2 percent of Titan’s total revenues in 2016, making or continuing a push into other countries could become a bigger focus at the company in coming years. In November, Titan announced that doctors in Australia successfully completed the first procedures involving Endoskeleton fusion devices in that country.
