Multi-marketplace expansion and timing

The company reported successful launches across Nordstrom, Chewy, Lowe's, Faire, and Best Buy, with the rollout beginning in November 2025. For consumer brands, the announcement signals a continued push toward diversified third-party marketplace presence as a growth lever, particularly as retailers extend marketplace models beyond core categories.

Cloud migration becomes a scaling decision, not an IT project

Henry Schein One reported that nearly 600 practices migrated from alternative systems to Ascend over the past 12 months, adding to the broader Dentrix customer base of more than 48,000 practices using Dentrix technology for clinical, operational, and financial workflows. The company also said monthly Ascend installations more than doubled year over year as practices transitioned away from legacy setups.

Award recognition spotlights soft-tissue balancing as a key outcomes lever
While implant design and alignment remain central to knee arthroplasty performance, soft-tissue balancing is increasingly viewed as a differentiator in patient satisfaction and functional outcomes. Advita Ortho is positioning Newton as a method to bring greater consistency to what has often been a highly surgeon-dependent step-an area the company notes has historically contributed to dissatisfaction in a meaningful share of procedures.
