ReCerf Receives its CE Mark, Advancing Access to Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Across Europe
"This is more than a regulatory milestone. It represents two decades of focused effort to improve hip resurfacing through an advanced material," said Mike Tuke, Founder of MatOrtho. "That became a possibility with BIOLOX® delta and cooperation with CeramTec A.G. which led in stages to ReCerf – an all-ceramic resurfacing implant that is already delivering excellent results. We're proud to make this more widely available to specialist hip resurfacing surgeons, and patients who want to stay active."
ReCerf is the world's first commercially available ceramic HRA, first approved by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration in November 2024. Since its initial use in 2018, over 1,600 patients have received the device. Patient-reported outcomes are highly positive, and the revision rate remains very low up to six years.
Made from BIOLOX® delta ceramic, ReCerf eliminates concerns historically associated with metal-on-metal bearings and preserves more of the patient's natural bone. For surgeons, it offers a familiar procedure underpinned by improved materials, and is supported by a company long recognised as the home of modern hip resurfacing.
ReCerf's availability under CE marking is matched by a strong commitment to responsible adoption. MatOrtho supports structured education, careful patient selection, and ongoing clinical monitoring. A peer-led surgeon training programme is already in place to ensure safe and effective use.
This achievement strengthens MatOrtho's strategic growth and reaffirms its leadership in pioneering orthopaedic solutions designed to restore normal joint function and support high level activity.
MatOrtho (formerly Finsbury Orthopaedics) is a global leader in orthopaedic invention and innovation, committed to advancing joint replacement technologies that improve patient outcomes and set new clinical standards.

BIXI launches bike-sharing service in Sherbrooke
SHERBROOKE, QC, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ - BIXI, in collaboration with the Société de transport de Sherbrooke (STS) and the City of Sherbrooke, is proud to announce the launch of the region's first bike-sharing service. The first phase will consist of 25 stations equipped with 255 bikes, 80% of which will be electric. This deployment offers Sherbrooke residents a sustainable, active, and accessible mode of transportation. This project is made possible thanks to a $1,105,581 financial contribution from the Quebec government as part of the Financial Assistance Program for the Development of Self-Service Bike Sharing (OVLIS) for the 2021-2022 fiscal year, a program stemming from the Sustainable Mobility Policy – 2030. At an event held today in Sherbrooke attended by Mayor Évelyne Beaudin, STS Chair Laure Letarte-Lavoie, and other local officials, BIXI officially launched the service. A well-equipped network geared to the region's needs The BIXI Sherbrooke network was designed to meet the specific requirements of the region, with stations strategically located near transportation hubs, educational institutions such as the University of Sherbrooke and Cégep de Sherbrooke, parks, and commercial areas. The number of stations and bikes will increase in the coming years. Users will be able to take advantage of flexible pricing, with monthly subscriptions as well as one-way trips for occasional travel. "I am pleased to see that this bike-sharing service is generating enthusiasm among the public. Our government remains an important partner in ensuring better access to various modes of transportation across all regions of Quebec. The project launched today will have a positive impact on the mobility and quality of life of our citizens in Estrie, which is my goal!" - Geneviève Guilbault, Minister of Transportation and Sustainable Mobility "It is a great pleasure to welcome BIXI to Sherbrooke! This service enhances our sustainable transportation options and makes our downtown even more attractive by facilitating access to businesses, contributing to the local economy. With electric bikes, even our hilly terrain becomes more welcoming! And this is just the beginning, with our cycling network constantly improving to make Sherbrooke even more welcoming for cyclists, both local and from elsewhere." - Évelyne Beaudin, Mayor of Sherbrooke "The rollout of this bike-sharing project fits perfectly with the STS's mission to promote sustainable and integrated mobility in Sherbrooke. By adding bike sharing services to our offering, we are promoting complementary modes of transportation and encouraging Sherbrooke residents to rethink their travel habits, one pedal stroke at a time," said Laure Letarte-Lavoie, President of the STS. "Being part of the large BIXI network means having access to a single app for all cities, enjoying simple pricing and unlimited zone subscriptions. It's connectivity in mobility, at the service of users," said Christian Vermette, General Manager of BIXI. BIXI coming soon throughout Quebec With this new expansion, BIXI is furthering its goal of expanding across Quebec. After Sherbrooke, BIXI is preparing to launch its service in Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes and Saint-Lambert in 2025, bringing the network to a total of 13 partner cities, 12,600 bikes and more than 1,000 stations. Users can now locate stations, rent a bike, and plan their trips via the BIXI mobile app or the BIXI website. About BIXI BIXI Montréal is a non-profit organization responsible for managing bikesharing services in Montréal, Westmount, Mount-Royal, MontréalEst, Longueuil, Laval, Boucherville, Terrebonne, Sainte-Julie and, soon, Sherbrooke, Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes and Saint-Lambert.

Project to Extend the Opening Hours in 20 SQDC Stores Français
MONTRÉAL, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Following the adoption of Act 8 (commonly referred to as Bill 85), which amends the Regulation respecting periods of admission to commercial establishments, the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) will launch a project aimed at extending the opening hours of 20 stores in order to better carry out its mission of converting the users to the legal market with its focus on protecting public health. "The goal of this process is to better fight the illegal market at a time of the day when demand exists and illegal vendors are very active," explains Jean-François Dulac-Lemelin, Senior Vice-President, Customer Experience. "We want to continue serving users by improving accessibility to lower-risk products. This project will help us better understand consumers' behaviour and habits. Nearly 20% of our customers who buy cannabis outside our network cite our opening hours as a reason." Beginning August 3, eight hours of operation will be added. The extended schedule will be until 10 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and until 6 p.m. on Sundays. The current schedule of staying open until 9 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be maintained. It should be noted that since opening its first 12 stores in 2018, the SQDC has been planning to take advantage of extended store hours. The adoption of Act 8 now makes that possible. Targeted locations Twenty points of sale located in busy areas across Québec will be included in the project. An additional Montréal store will join the list later this fall and an exception will be made for another Montréal store. Exception for the Vieux-Montréal store The Vieux-Montréal store will be the first to feature the extended schedule and will do so from its official opening on July 7. This new point of sale will be the 107th in the SQDC network and will feature several changes introduced by the SQDC over the last year to improve its concepts and the customer experience, such as island display cases, displaying products by category (dried flowers, edibles, pre-rolleds, hash, etc.) to improve our advisory approach and using warmer construction materials. "We are very pleased to open a new store in this part of the city and further increase the coverage of our market," said the store's manager, Mario Quattrociocche. "Our advisors have received the necessary training and are ready to field questions from a diverse range of customers. Our model is already well viewed abroad." About the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) The SQDC is a government corporation mandated to distribute and sell cannabis in Québec with a focus on protecting customers' health and safety. The company is committed to offering quality products and informing and advising consumers on how to minimize the health impacts of cannabis. The goal is to shrink the illegal cannabis market in Québec. The declared dividend equal to the company's net income is transferred to the Fonds de lutte contre les dépendances, a fund managed by the Ministère des Finances du Québec, and reinvested primarily in cannabis-related education, prevention efforts and research.
