He also previously served as CEO of Ivenix prior to its successful exit to Fresenius Kabi, was CEO of Gravitas Medical, and has held senior roles at Coloplast and Convatec.

“Aspen Surgical has a strong foundation and significant opportunities ahead,” said Hansen. “I am excited to work with the team to drive growth, strengthen execution, and continue Aspen Surgical’s commitment to serving clinicians and patients.”
