The collaboration addresses the growing shift of complex pain procedures from hospitals to outpatient settings, where providers seek cost-effective solutions that improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.
Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) and Siemens Healthineers (搜索) have announced a strategic co-marketing agreement to advance outpatient and interventional pain care through an integrated ecosystem of imaging and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) technologies. The partnership addresses the growing trend of pain management procedures shifting from hospital to outpatient settings, where providers are seeking versatile, cost-effective systems that streamline workflow and improve clinical outcomes.
Integrated Technology Platform for Enhanced Precision
The collaboration pairs Siemens Healthineers (搜索)' mobile C-arm systems, including the Cios Select (搜索) and Cios Flow (搜索), with Avanos Medical's pain management technologies. These imaging systems are designed to deliver advanced imaging, maneuverability, and reliability, enabling accuracy and consistency across procedures. When combined with Avanos' RFA technologies, they create a seamless workflow that supports smoother operations and better patient outcomes.
"At Avanos, we're continuously looking for smart, strategic ways to deliver greater value to our customers," said Dave Pacitti, Chief Executive Officer of Avanos Medical. "Collaborating with Siemens Healthineers (搜索) combines our RFA expertise with leading imaging technology to help providers work smarter, improve procedural precision, and expand access to advanced pain management in the outpatient setting."
Addressing Market Shift to Outpatient Care
The partnership reflects a broader healthcare trend where complex pain procedures are migrating from hospitals to ambulatory and outpatient settings. Providers are prioritizing flexible and cost-efficient solutions that optimize workflow and support improved clinical outcomes. Together, Avanos and Siemens Healthineers (搜索) will equip ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), hospitals, and interventional pain practices with complementary technologies that enhance accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in patient care.
"Our mobile c-arm systems are designed to improve clinical performance and simplify daily procedures," said Christiana Gallagher, Head of Mobile C-Arms, North America, Siemens Healthineers (搜索). Felicia Kurz, Head of Advanced Therapies, North America, at Siemens Healthineers added, "This collaboration brings those benefits to more pain management settings, giving outpatient centers the tools to expand their capabilities, work efficiently, and provide exceptional care for their patients."
Strategic Value and Market Focus
The agreement allows both companies to leverage existing strengths without developing entirely new platforms. For Avanos, the partnership enhances the value proposition of its RFA portfolio by embedding it within a broader procedural ecosystem. For Siemens Healthineers (搜索), it extends the reach of its mobile C-arm systems deeper into interventional pain and outpatient specialties.
The co-marketing agreement will initially focus on the U.S. market, with both companies collaborating on education, sales training, and joint marketing initiatives to increase awareness of the combined solution's clinical and operational benefits. The integrated offering is positioned to enable streamlined clinical workflow while improving operational efficiency and patient outcomes across various pain management settings.
