Medit, Straumann Group Announce Distribution Partnership for Intraoral Scanners

The Straumann Group will begin distributing Medit’s intraoral scanners at the start of next year, including Medit’s popular i500 scanner.

Medit and Straumann today announced that they have entered a global distribution partnership for intraoral scanners effective as of January 1st, 2021. This agreement leverages the existing partnership of the 2 companies for dental lab scanners.

The distribution agreement includes the i500 scanner, designed to deliver optimal performance for a wide range of applications. Last month the company released a software update, further enhancing the i500’s capabilities.

Straumann Group is a global leader in tooth replacement and orthodontic solutions that develops, manufactures, and supplies innovative global brands for replacement, corrective, and digital dentistry.

With Medit’s strong presence as an open system provider and Straumann Group’s large digital ecosystem, the partnership is based on powerful synergies and the common goal of driving the adoption of digital dentistry. With the distribution agreement, the Medit i500 will be integrated in Straumann’s prosthetic and clear aligner workflow solutions, such as ClearCorrect. The alliance will also include the workflow between Medit’s open collaboration platform, Medit Link, and Straumann Group’s open software platforms for surgical planning, CAD/CAM prosthetics, and treatment services.
