Miach Orthopaedics fills quality, clinical roles | Personnel Moves, April 17, 2019

April 17, 2019 By Brad Perriello

Miach Orthopedics fills quality, clinical rolesMiach Orthopaedics said today that it tapped a pair of executives to oversee the quality systems and clinical program for the knee ligament repair device it’s developing.

Miach is working on bio-engineered implants for surgical connective tissue repair, aiming first at anterior cruciate ligament repair with its Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair device, a sponge that’s designed to act as a scaffold to stimulate healing. The Westborough, Mass.-based company said today that it named medtech veteran Michael O’Hara as quality assurance VP and Rita Paparazzo, formerly of Boston Biomedical Assoc. and Inverness Medical/Biosite, as clinical operations senior director.

O’Hara’s resume includes stints in quality assurance at TransMedics, Abiomed (NSDQ:ABMD), Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and Baxter (NYSE:BAX).

“We are building a team of hard-working, collaborative, innovative employees at Miach,” president & CEO Martha Shadan said in prepared remarks. “Mike and Rita are results-driven individuals with substantial experience in their respective areas.”

Miach, which raised $23 million last September, in March touted a study showing results similar to traditional ACL repair at two years.
