We look forward to leveraging his experience accelerating growth through commercial execution, product innovation, and the building of strong, integrated teams,” said Richard Mott, Executive Board Chairman of Relievant. “With an unparalleled level of clinical evidence supporting Intracept’s position in the CLBP care pathway and a Category I CPT code effective in January 2021, Relievant is poised for its next phase of growth – and Tyler brings the right blend of experience and expertise to lead the Company at this important stage.”
“I am excited to join the Relievant team at this important time, with a rapidly growing number of physicians recognizing that the Intracept procedure fills a well-established gap in the CLBP care pathway,” said Mr. Binney. “The Intracept procedure has been shown to deliver long-lasting improvements in pain and function for CLBP patients, with an objective biomarker that helps physicians identify those who may benefit from the procedure. I am excited to lead this team forward, continuing the successful commercialization achieved to date.”
The Intracept procedure is FDA-cleared and available across the United States.
