SiNAPTIC

What SiNAPTIC does

SiNAPTIC Surgical, LLC is a Lafayette, Colorado-based medical device company that designs and manufactures silicon nitride-based orthopaedic implants, with a current focus on foot and ankle reconstruction devices such as osteotomy wedges featuring proprietary design geometries and disposable instrumentation. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) following its acquisition in mid-2025, and serves as SINTX's dedicated commercial vehicle for silicon nitride foot and ankle medical devices. Its underlying technology leverages SINTX's nearly three-decade track record with silicon nitride biomaterials, including the FleX-SN medical-grade silicon nitride platform with demonstrated antibacterial and osseointegrative properties, and a track record of over 50,000 spinal fusion implants since 2008.

The broader product portfolio includes the FleX-SN biomaterial for spinal and joint replacement applications, the FleX SN-AP antipathogenic powder for additive, coating, or composite use in medical and non-medical products, and composite 3D printing services for silicon nitride and other advanced ceramics. A strategic supply agreement with EVONIK enables manufacture of silicon nitride-PEEK compound material for AI-assisted, 3D-printed medical devices, extending the platform into OEM solutions. The company maintains ISO 13485:2016 medical device certification, AS9100D aerospace certification, and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, and is advancing through FDA 510(k) premarket notification for its flagship silicon nitride osteotomy wedges targeting the $750.5 million global foot and ankle fusion market, projected to reach $1.38 billion by 2032.

SiNAPTIC generates revenue through hardware sales of silicon nitride-based orthopaedic and spinal implant devices distributed under the SiNAPTIC Surgical brand via direct enterprise field sales to hospitals, surgical centers, and orthopaedic surgeons, supplemented by a distributor network and dedicated distributor opportunities program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows the typical medical device model of quote-based pricing per procedure, facility, and volume. The company's geographic focus is initially the United States, with global distribution potential through the SiNAPTIC Surgical brand channel.

Direct peers

• Paragon 28: Pure-play orthopedic company focused exclusively on foot and ankle surgery, offering implants and instrumentation for fusion, osteotomy, and trauma. Directly comparable as SiNAPTIC Surgical's primary competitive set in its lead indication.
• Treace Medical Concepts: Medical technology company focused exclusively on foot and ankle, with the Lapiplasty system for bunion correction and a growing fusion portfolio. Competes head-to-head with SiNAPTIC Surgical for foot and ankle surgeon mindshare and OR shelf space.
• Vilex: Specialty orthopedic manufacturer focused on foot, ankle, and lower extremity implants and instrumentation. Comparable as a focused foot/ankle device competitor with overlapping surgeon customers.
• Camber Spine: Spine-focused medical device company offering a portfolio of fusion and motion-preservation implants. Comparable as a sub-scale spine implant peer competing for similar spine surgeon accounts where SINTX's silicon nitride platform is already established.

Broad incumbents

• Stryker (Wright Medical): Large orthopedic incumbent whose Wright Medical division is a dominant player in foot and ankle fusion and extremities. Comparable as the scale competitor whose breadth, IDN contracts, and surgeon relationships set the competitive ceiling for SiNAPTIC.
• Zimmer Biomet: Global orthopedic leader with a broad foot/ankle and extremities portfolio (including biofoam and titanium offerings). Comparable as a broad incumbent whose material innovation programs (antibiotic coatings, 3D-printed trabecular structures) compete on adjacent dimensions to SiNAPTIC.
• Exactech: Orthopedic implant manufacturer with foot/ankle, extremities, and spine offerings, plus interest in patient-specific and 3D-printed solutions. Comparable as a mid-size orthopedic incumbent overlapping SiNAPTIC's clinical applications.

Emerging players

• Additive Orthopedics: Emerging player developing 3D-printed, patient-specific orthopedic implants for foot, ankle, and other extremities. Comparable as a similarly-sized emerging company leveraging additive manufacturing for personalized orthopedic devices.
• Curiteva: Medical device company commercializing 3D-printed spinal implants using PEEK and other advanced materials. Comparable as an emerging additive-manufacturing spine and orthopedic peer overlapping SiNAPTIC's FleX-SN and composite 3D printing roadmap.
• Theradaptive: Clinical-stage company developing 3D-printed, protein-binding implants for orthopedic and spine applications. Comparable as an emerging peer combining additive manufacturing with material science innovation for personalized bone-healing implants.
