'At Catalyst, we're not bound by convention – we're defining what comes next,' said Carl O'Connell, president and chief executive officer of Catalyst. 'Our technology is designed to solve real shoulder arthroplasty challenges, and our clinical outcomes prove the value of that approach. We're committed to helping shoulder surgeons achieve better results with less complexity.'
This release continues to expand Catalyst's differentiated portfolio, bringing a fracture-specific solution that prioritizes tuberosity fixation and healing—key factors consistently shown to produce better outcomes. Designed to improve reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), the system includes patented technology that helps reduce surgical complexity and drive clinical confidence. Entering a fracture market estimated at over $250 million, Catalyst is seeing strong early adoption and is positioned to capture significant market share.
The news comes on the heels of its recent announcement of 5-8 year published midterm data supporting its Catalyst CSR™ Total Shoulder System - the first product Catalyst launched to the market. Catalyst continues to provide solutions that enable surgeons to deliver outcomes that outpace traditional total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) solutions and this independent study introduced a new industry benchmark, showing that:
Patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) with the Catalyst CSR system experienced exceptionally high patient satisfaction, little to no pain, significant functional improvements, and very low revision rates that are well below the average data published for similar aTSA implants.
These clinical results highlight Catalyst's focus on anatomic precision and reproducible solutions that eliminate unnecessary complexity while enabling optimized outcomes.
'The data speaks volumes, but so does the growing enthusiasm we're seeing from the orthopedic community,' said Dr. Theodore Blaine, orthopedic surgeon. 'Catalyst has earned a reputation for smart shoulder arthroplasty solutions that align with how surgeons work and the results they expect – whether in hospitals or ASCs – and that's what makes it different.'
Catalyst's commitment to surgeon engagement is just as strong as its product portfolio and pipeline. In addition to growing interest and presence at major orthopedic meetings, the company is strengthening its partnership with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) through sponsorship of the 2025 ASES Annual Meeting and the 2026 ASES Mentor & Mentee Meeting. These events provide a meaningful platform to connect with established thought leaders and rising surgical talent—reinforcing Catalyst's role as a company that listens, evolves, and leads and is the go-to partner for surgeons who demand better.
This forward momentum underscores the company's focus – sustainable growth, surgeon-first mindset, and unmatched value for healthcare systems – which continues to resonate with the orthopedic community.
Catalyst OrthoScience, based in Naples, Florida, is redefining shoulder replacement surgery. With a focus on less invasive techniques, fewer complications, and a more natural-feeling shoulder, Catalyst is breaking away from traditional approaches. Our total shoulder systems are engineered for precision and efficiency – preserving bone and soft tissue while enabling delivery of consistent, reproducible results. With a growing portfolio of issued and pending patents, Catalyst technology is available across the U.S. Learn more at www.catalystortho.com and connect with us on LinkedIn.

CUPE: Liberals reward Air Canada's refusal to bargain fairly by crushing flight attendants' Charter rights
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air Canada asked the government to crush underpaid flight attendants' Charter rights, and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu only waited a few hours to deliver. The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages. "The Liberals have talked out of both sides of their mouths. They said the best place for this is at the bargaining table. They refused to correct this historic injustice through legislation," said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE. "Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation." CUPE came to the table with data-driven and reasonable proposals for a fair cost-of-living wage increase and an end to forced unpaid labour. Air Canada responded by sandbagging the negotiations. The Liberal government is rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted. This sets a terrible precedent. Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace at Air Canada. This will only ensure that the unresolved issues will continue to worsen by kicking them down the road. Nor will it ensure labour peace in this industry — because unpaid work is an unfair practice that pervades nearly the entire airline sector, and will continue to arise in negotiations between flight attendants and other carriers.

'This government is anti-union and anti-worker': CUPE NS Denounces Use of Bill 107
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Nova Scotia strongly condemns the federal government's decision to interfere in workers' right to collective bargaining and job action by invoking Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. 'Clearly, this government is anti-union and anti-worker,' said Alan Linkletter, CUPE Nova Scotia President. 'Forcing workers back on the job instead of supporting free and fair collective negotiations directly contradictions workers' rights that are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.' Air Canada has asked the government to crush striking workers' Charter rights, and Federal Labour minister Patty Hajdu is ready to deliver. Hajdu announced that the federal government will be invoking Section 107 at a press conference this afternoon, citing the financial welfare of Canadians and the economy at large as a deciding factor for this decision. 'She says this move is for the financial security of Canadians—are these workers not Canadians? Does their welfare not matter? How can you be financially secure when you don't even get paid for all of the hours you work?' Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace in Canada. This will only push this fight onto the next group of workers in negotiations, while Air Canda's flight attendants continue to work for a billion-dollar company for free. Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a month performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for all the hours they work, Air Canada has clearly sought help from the federal government to continue exploiting their employees. 'Minister Hajdu's comments indicate a clear lack of respect for workers' rights,' said Sherry Hillier, President of CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador and National General Vice President for Atlantic Canada. 'By using Section 107 to force workers back on the job yet again, they're setting a pattern. And that pattern is that Liberals don't care about Canadians.' Recent polling data indicates that 9 out of 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants' fight for fair pay. 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks. 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play. 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants' right to take job action–even if it causes travel disruptions. CUPE represents over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants across the country, and workers have been demonstrating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport since 6AM. 'Messages of support have been pouring in for these workers from across the country,' continued Linkletter. 'Canadians stand with us. Our elected representatives should, too.'
