Mölndal, Sweden - May 3, 2024 - Integrum (publ) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: INTEG B) announces today that the company has launched a short video documentary about the company's Center of Excellence in Kyiv, Ukraine.

As a result of the Russian invasion, Ukraine's Health Ministry estimates that there will be approximately 100,000 amputees in Ukraine at the end of 2024. Integrum's Center of Excellence at the Center for Complex Endoprosthetics, Osseointegration and Bionics in Kyiv was established in December 2023, with the intention to spearhead orthopedic treatment using OPRA™ Implant System in individuals who have suffered limb loss. Integrum's CEO, Dr Rickard Brånemark, visits the center regularly to perform surgeries and train surgeons.
To increase awareness of the great need for innovations to help combat amputees, Integrum has produced a short video documentary showing how the unique technology OPRA[TM] Implant System can help restore functionality in severely injured veterans. To further increase focus on the matter, Dr Brånemark has hosted several meetings at the center during the last week with politicians, company leaders and military representatives.
