Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary DePuy Synthes secured a $32,994,565 contract from the U.S. Department of Defense for medical surgical products last week.
The nine-month contract comes with eight one-year and one 15-month option periods. The customers include the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps and federal civilian agencies.
Earlier this month, DePuy launched its latest development in medical devices, Trumatch titanium 3D-printed implants to be used in facial reconstructions. With the new product, the company can offer Trumatch Orthognathics, a personalized solution for corrective jaw surgery.
The implants are printed based on CT scans of a patient’s skull and the outcomes of computer-aided surgical planning. DePuy is working with 3D-printer and software solution supplier Materialise on the product.
