Highridge Medical

What Highridge Medical does

Highridge Medical is a privately held global medical device company focused on the design, manufacture, and commercialization of spinal surgery products and enabling technologies. Founded in April 2024 when H.I.G. Capital acquired the spine business from ZimVie (itself a Zimmer Biomet spin-off), Highridge is headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, with additional offices in Brazil, Singapore, France, and Japan, and is positioned as the seventh largest spine company worldwide. The company's product portfolio is organized into four categories: cervical solutions (Mobi-C cervical disc, ROI-C cage, MaxAn plate, TrellOss-C), thoracolumbar solutions (TrellOss-L, Vital deformity system, FlareHawk, LineSider, Virage), enabling technologies (Waypoint GPS disposable pedicle guidance, PathKeeper 3D imaging and AI), and biologic solutions (PrimaGen Advanced allograft, InterGro DBM, Puros DBM, PlatFORM, Indux, OriGro). Its flagship motion-preservation device, The Tether vertebral body tethering system, is FDA-approved for pediatric scoliosis and has been used in more than 3,000 cases since 2019, with recent UnitedHealthcare coverage materially expanding reimbursement access.

Highridge generates revenue through direct sales to spine surgeons and hospitals and through an increasingly important layer of strategic distribution partnerships, including exclusive US deals with Waypoint Orthopedics (Waypoint GPS) and partnerships with SMAIO, Orthofix, and PathKeeper Surgical that delivered 138% US implant sales growth for SMAIO. Its go-to-market combines an in-house sales force, a surgeon education infrastructure (the Highridge Institute), participation in major spine industry tradeshows and symposiums, and a Shopify-based company store. Customer segments are spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and healthcare facilities performing cervical disc replacement, scoliosis correction, thoracolumbar fusion, deformity correction, and biologic-augmented procedures. Following the divestiture of the EBI bone healing unit to Avista Healthcare Partners in 2025, Highridge is concentrating capital and management attention on the spine franchise, with stated plans to double R&D investment and pursue further M&A to broaden its portfolio.
