Fleurieux-sur-l’Arbresle - France - June 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Following the announcement on March 31, 2026, of SAFE Group’s strong growth momentum in Venezuela—including its participation in a leading scientific event and the expansion of its product portfolio—the Group is continuing its expansion in Venezuela with several surgeon training sessions in the cities of Barquisimeto, Valera, and Barinas.

Training tailored to clinicians’ needs

As part of its strategy of building lasting partnerships, SAFE conducted three training sessions attended by about ten surgeons at the Barquisimeto Military Hospital, the Jose Gregorio Hernandez Clinic in the city of Valera, and the private clinic “Unidad Quirurgica del Centro” in the city of Barinas, focusing on the Group’s ready-to-use solutions and their application in minimally invasive surgery for degenerative conditions.

By supporting the training of practitioners in their local settings, SAFE contributes to the skill development of local surgical teams and promotes the rapid and safe adoption of its technologies.

A response particularly suited to the Venezuelan context

SAFE’s single-use devices, which are tailored to local budgetary constraints while generating substantial savings across the entire surgical workflow, have proven their value. By reducing sterilization costs, logistics lead times, and the risk of infection, these premium solutions directly meet surgeons’ expectations.

These new training programs demonstrate the Group’s ability to expand its network beyond its initial footholds and consolidate its position as the leading partner for orthopedic surgery in Venezuela.

« Our participation in numerous scientific events and the training of new surgeons in several regions of the country naturally extends our commitment to Venezuela and is part of our business expansion throughout Latin America. We don’t just make our technologies available; we work alongside medical teams to tangibly and sustainably improve access to quality care,” said Philippe Laurito, CEO of Safe Group.
