HydroCision CEO Tranchemontagne

HydroCision said early this month that it tapped former Smith & Nephew (NYSE:SNN) exec Alain Tranchemontagne as its new chief executive officer.

“We are delighted to have Alain spearhead the next growth chapter in HydroCision’s future. The board was impressed with Alain’s proven track record at major medical device companies, his leadership and market development experience, as well as his passion and energy to broaden the use of our patented, proprietary technology,” board chair John Schulte said in a press release.

“I’m incredibly honored to be joining HydroCision, and I look forward to working closely with the dedicated HydroCision employees and the Board to deliver on the enormous opportunity that lies ahead. I’m also eager to quickly accelerate HydroCision’s growth trajectory, particularly leveraging our unique and differentiated technology into new surgical applications,” Tranchemontagne said in a prepared statement.

“We are pleased to have Fran join the executive leadership team at Senseonics. As chief medical officer, she will be instrumental in helping drive forward our innovation platform and the clinical value proposition of the Eversense system.

We are confident that with her leadership, we will further transform and elevate the Eversense platform and bolster our US commercialization efforts at this critical point,” prez & CEO Tim Goodnow said in a press release.

“I am very excited to join the Senseonics team, especially at this point where I feel I have an opportunity to help lay the foundation for the first long-term implantable continuous glucose monitoring system.

 Camber Spine Tech appoints Dickinson as sales & new biz dev VP

Camber Spine Technologies said last week that it appointed Ryan Dickinson as its new sales and new business dev VP.

Prior to joining King of Prussia, Penn.-based Camber Spine, Dickinson has held positions with Verticor Spine and Invictus Medical, which he helped found.

“After leaving corporate America in 2017 and moving to West Palm Beach I vowed never to return to it again. It only took a few interactions with the founders of Camber Spine to see that they had something truly special brewing. Once I saw the efficacy and revolutionary technology of their implants I was hooked. That coupled with the testimonials of my own doctors using their products, I wanted in, I needed to be a part of what they were doing.  There’s a sense of magic in their implants, a magic that is going to catapult them to limitless heights. I am very excited to join the Camber Spine team. I believe the potential for growth is tremendous given the smart and passionate people that I have already met in the company and a very strong brand portfolio including their two very exciting proprietary technology platforms Spira and Enza,” Dickinson said in a prepared statement.
