Combining Stille’s unique product offering of surgical instruments with an exclusive distributor that has a strong presence in key strategic surgical disciplines will strengthen Stille’s overall market position in the United States, while bringing significant value to our business. We are proud to partner with, and to be represented by, Synovis MCA”, says Brian Anderson, General Manager for Stille’s US-based company, Stille Surgical, Inc.
