Register today and be part of something bigger.
Your Registration. Their Recovery.
When you register for OMTEC during IMPACT Month, you’re doing more than securing your place at the industry’s premier event—you’re helping transform lives.
Thanks to SIGN, patients like Aldrin—featured in this video—receive life-changing care they might not otherwise access, allowing them to regain mobility, dignity and hope.
By attending OMTEC, you’re not only investing in your business—you’re making a lasting impact on the lives of the world’s most vulnerable.
More about SIGN Fracture Care International
Every SIGN Surgery transforms a life. For the cost of one night in a hotel, you can heal a broken bone and help a person get back on their feet. $175 provides the implants needed for one SIGN Surgery. Imagine what $10,000 can do!
With nearly half of the world’s population living on less than $6.85 per day, a disabled family member who cannot work may drag the entire family even further into poverty. SIGN restores limbs and livelihoods!
SIGN designs, manufactures and distributes instruments, screws, nails, FX plates and other implants at their facilities in Richland, Washington. Currently, 452 hospitals in 60 countries use SIGN products and 460,336 patients (and counting!) have been healed.
SIGN Fracture Care gives the injured poor access to fracture surgery by donating orthopedic education and implant systems to surgeons in low- and middle-income countries. According to The World Bank, nearly half the world — over 3 billion people — live on less than $6.85 a day. These people simply cannot afford to purchase a commercially available implant. SIGN designs, manufactures, and donates orthopedic implants needed to stabilize and heal fractures — at no cost to hospitals and patients.
SIGN Surgeons help people get back on their feet after a traumatic injury
so they can quickly return to work or school and keep their family on the
path out of poverty.
At follow-up appointments after SIGN Surgery, patients are asked to “squat and smile” — a test to show restored range of motion, strong healing, and that they are pain free. This was designed to save the cost of a follow-up x-ray for impoverished patients.
Help us raise $10,000 for SIGN!
Join the Movement to Make Fracture Care Equal
We’re aiming to donate $10,000 to SIGN Fracture Care—and your OMTEC registration can help us get there. Your support ensures that people living on the margins have access to surgery that gets them back on their feet—literally.
Registering for OMTEC this month means more than attending the industry’s top conference. It means helping a father, mother or child walk again using a surgical system purpose-built for low-resource settings. SIGN’s brilliance lies in engineering that overcomes the limitations of electricity, imaging, and cost.
