OrthoPediatrics is a medical device company focused exclusively on pediatric orthopedics. Founded in 2006, it designs, develops, and commercializes orthopedic implants and instruments to improve the lives of children with orthopedic conditions. The company offers over 35 surgical systems covering key areas such as trauma & deformity, scoliosis, and sports medicine/other pediatric orthopedic needs. OrthoPediatrics primarily markets its products in the United States, with a growing presence in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Investment rationale
Historically, there have been a limited number of implants and instruments specifically designed for the unique needs of children. As a result, pediatric orthopedic surgeons often improvise with adult implants repurposed for use in children, resort to freehand techniques with adult instruments, and use implants that can be difficult to remove after being temporarily implanted. These improvisations may lead to undue surgical trauma and morbidity given that the bones of children are very different from adults (smaller, with a different composition, still growing so changing shape as well). By developing implants specifically for children, OrthoPediatrics contributes to a better and more mobile future for children that need implants.
