What Acumed does
Acumed, LLC is a privately held orthopedic medical device manufacturer headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, founded in 1988 (per firmographic data) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OsteoMed within Marmon Medical, itself part of Berkshire Hathaway. The company designs, manufactures, and markets surgical implant systems used in fracture fixation, osteotomy correction, arthrodesis, and soft tissue repair across hand and wrist, foot and ankle, shoulder, elbow, hip and pelvis, chest wall, cranio-maxillofacial (CMF), and neurosurgical procedures. Its core technology centers on the Acutrak family of headless compression screws — a fully threaded, headless design introduced in 1994 with 30+ years of clinical history and 3+ million implants placed worldwide — alongside complementary cannulated screw systems (4.0–7.3mm diameters), variable-angle locking plating systems (ExtremiLock, Acu-Loc), intramedullary nails (INnate), shape-memory Nitinol fixation (InstaFix), PEEK suture anchors, and orthobiologics (Abyrx, allograft products, bone graft harvesting). Through its OsteoMed subsidiary, Acumed also sells neuro and cranial fixation systems. The November 2025 acquisition of TECHFIT Digital Surgery assets added end-to-end digital surgical planning capabilities, enabling patient-specific splints, guides, and implants — extending Acumed's product surface beyond off-the-shelf implants into personalized surgical solutions.
The company sells primarily through a direct field sales force calling on hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), supported by the ASCent national accounts program for outpatient facilities and a mobile cadaveric training program that has delivered 5,000+ hands-on surgeon education sessions. Revenue is generated via one-time hardware sales of implants and instrumentation under quote-based, GPO/IDN contract pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Acumed targets orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists specializing in upper and lower extremity reconstruction and trauma, as well as neurosurgeons, craniomaxillofacial surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. With 251-500 employees, an active product launch cadence (Acutrak 3 in 2023, Acu-Sinch Knotless Mini and Acu-Loc NEXT in 2025), and a recent expansion into the CMF and digital surgery verticals, the company is in a phase of portfolio and geographic broadening within the constraints of stable conglomerate ownership.
