Thiroloix will be based in Baar, Switzerland, and will be responsible for leading and directing all commercial activities in the advanced surgical devices division, specifically the markets focused on orthopedics and sports medicine.

"We’re excited to have Stéphane join our European team," S&N President Mike Frazzette said in prepared remarks.
