PONTE VEDRA, Fla., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. ('Treace' or the 'Company') (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures, today announced that it filed a lawsuit against Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and Paragon 28, Inc. (collectively, 'Zimmer') (NYSE: ZBH), alleging infringement of 4 patents related to Treace's innovative Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® technologies. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and seeks injunctive relief and damages. 'Treace Medical was the first company to develop, patent, and introduce an instrumented 3D bunion correction system for true tri-planar lapidus bunion correction and is the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions. We believe that this lawsuit is necessary to protect the significant investments we have made in our pioneering research and technology, which is in the best interest of our stockholders,' said John T.

About Treace Medical Concepts Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which Treace estimates 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. Treace has pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® System – a combination of instruments, implants, and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. To further support the needs of bunion patients, Treace has introduced its Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities, the SpeedMTP™ Rapid Compression Implant for addressing bunions through big toe joint fusions, and two systems for minimally invasive osteotomy surgeries: the Nanoplasty™ 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty™ Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System. The Company continues to expand its footprint in the foot and ankle market with the introduction of its SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implants, an innovative fixation platform with broad versatility across Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures, as well as other common bone fusion procedures of the foot.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / GPO Plus, Inc.(OTCQB:GPOX), an AI-powered Distributor revolutionizing distribution to gas stations and convenience stores with its innovative technology-driven Direct Store Delivery (DSD) model, today announced the launch of its new in-house call center operation based in Las Vegas, Nevada. This expansion marks a key milestone in GPOX's growth strategy, significantly broadening its ability to reach new retail customers and increase revenue across additional sales channels. The newly operational call center represents a highly scalable and cost-effective way to drive B2B sales to independent retailers, including smoke shops, vape shops, liquor stores, small grocers, and convenience stores that fall outside the traditional DSD footprint. This initiative works in tandem with the company's field teams, DISTRO+ Wholesale Portal, and regional hubs, forming a comprehensive multi-channel distribution strategy designed to accelerate nationwide growth. The team is starting with a well-curated lead database of over 70,000 retail accounts, focusing on selling GPOX's proven product lines, including its high-margin private-label SKUs. As previously announced, industry benchmarks indicate that $50,000-$100,000 in monthly sales can be achieved per seat. With operations now live, the call center is well-positioned to make meaningful contributions to top-line growth and drive additional market penetration, eliminating the need for physical delivery infrastructure. GPOX has hired an industry veteran and seasoned sales operations leader with extensive experience in call centers to lead the new team. The initial rollout includes up to 10 seats, with the infrastructure and lead volume in place to expand to 22 seats. The projected monthly revenue goal of $50,000 to $100,000 per seat, or $1.1 million to $2.2 million per month (expansion to 22 seats), and the corresponding annualized estimate of $13.2 million to $26.4 million are based on industry averages. "This is a high-impact revenue growth lever for GPOX that has moved quickly from concept to execution," said Brett H. Pojunis, CEO of GPOX. "We expect to have the first 10 seats filled by the end of July, and the expansion up to 22 seats by the end of fiscal Q2 (August to October, 2025). We've streamlined our operations, increased our margins, and now we're aggressively expanding. The call center allows us to rapidly scale into new geographies, deepen our retail penetration, and drive direct B2B sales. Our new manager brings exactly the leadership we need to maximize this opportunity." This initiative complements other recent activations, including the launch of the DISTRO+ Wholesale Portal, the opening of new ambient-temperature-controlled warehouses in Las Vegas and Lubbock, and the deployment of GPOX field teams to expand regional account penetration.

Snapchat finally has a watchOS app after a decade
There's finally a Snapchat app for watchOS , bringing the social media platform to Apple's line of wearables. This has been a long time coming, given that the first Apple Watch graced our wrists over a decade ago . The app lets users preview incoming messages and reply by using the keyboard, scribbling with a finger, voice dictation or sending out an emoji. Apple Watch wearers could already preview a Snapchat message by enabling them on an iPhone, but there wasn't a way to respond until now. Snapchat says the app will be useful when doing things like alerting friends when arriving at a restaurant or when sending out a quick reply during a run. A company representative told us that it's good for people who want to "keep active conversations going while they're on the go." They also indicated that previewing a message on an Apple Watch will not mark it as "read" on the mobile or web app, as it only shows the first 100 characters. The app cannot be used to view images or videos, but the company plans to "evolve the experience over time." Despite coming ten years after the Apple Watch first launched, Snapchat has still outpaced many of its rivals. There isn't a dedicated Facebook app for the wearable, or a WhatsApp release. Facebook Messenger did have an app once upon a time, but it was pulled. Snapchat's watchOS app comes just ahead of this year's WWDC event. Rumors indicate that Apple is planning on some major announcements throughout the event, including a complete redesign of its various operating systems and new Apple Intelligence features that I'm sure everyone will just love .
