Bedford, Mass. – November 12, 2012 – Conformis, Inc., a privately held medical device company pioneering patient-specific orthopedic implants, announced today it has appointed 30-year business and financial management veteran Peter Traynor as the company’s Chief Financial Officer. The addition of Mr. Traynor bolsters the executive management team as the company continues to grow following the recent launch of its iTotal^®G2 total knee replacement system.

Prior to joining Conformis, Mr. Traynor spent 10 years at Genzyme Corporation where he served as the Chief Accounting Officer and most recently as the Senior Vice President of Business Unit Finance.

Conformis recently announced the launch of its iTotal G2 total knee replacement system, the only personalized implant and instrument system designed to match a patient’s natural articulating shape. The iTotal allows Conformis to address the largest segment of the knee replacement market, currently a $6 billion dollar category.
