SpineCraft

What SpineCraft does

SpineCraft, LLC is a privately held medical device company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Westmont, Illinois, approximately 20 miles west of downtown Chicago. The company designs, manufactures, and markets comprehensive spinal implant systems and surgical instruments for deformity correction, revision and extension surgery, degenerative conditions, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and trauma. Its product portfolio spans the ORIO-3D 3D-printed trabecular titanium interbody platform (ALIF, TLIF, Curved TLIF, P-TLIF, and cervical cages), ORIO PEEK-Optima and titanium cages, the ASTRA and APEX posterior fixation families (deformity, degenerative, revision, and cervical variants including ASTRA-OCT), the AVANT MIS percutaneous system, the PANORAMA MIS retractor with axial-opening design, the VELOX anterior cervical plate, ANTERIS thoracolumbar plates, and biologics including TriOsteo structural allografts and OsteoPore Plus DBM.

The company's underlying technology is built on surgeon-driven co-development, advanced manufacturing including proprietary 3D-printed trabecular titanium with biomimetic pore architecture, and precision-machined PEEK-Optima and titanium implants. SpineCraft holds three issued US patents (uniplanar screw assembly, anterior cervical plate system, spinal derotation system), operates under ISO 13485:2016 certification valid through February 2029, and has accumulated seven FDA 510(k) clearances alongside CE Mark, CFDA (China), and TGA (Australia/NZ) registrations. Its systems integrate with Medtronic StealthStation navigation and the FireFly mechanical surgical guidance platform from Mighty Oak Medical, and the company is researching nanoTi antimicrobial titanium alloy under a 2022 agreement with Rosies Base LLC.

Commercially, SpineCraft operates a U.S. direct field sales force alongside a network of regional international distributors covering Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Strategic channel partners include WishBone Medical for pediatric spine deformity (since June 2021) and Spartan Medical for VA, DoD, and ambulatory surgery centers (since July 2024); Zimmer Spine served as the historical exclusive distributor for the APEX system from 2013. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B sales of spinal implant hardware and loaner instrument kits to hospitals, surgical centers, and surgeons. The company is led by President and CEO Wagdy Asaad, MD, and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees; financial results are not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Spinal Implant Hardware Sales: SpineCraft generates revenue primarily from the sale of spinal implant systems (pedicle screws, cages, plates, rods) and surgical instruments to hospitals, surgical centers, and surgeons. Revenue is one-time per procedure, driven by case volume and product portfolio breadth.
2. Instrument Kit Rental / Loaner Programs: SpineCraft operates a loaner kit and components program for distributors and hospital customers, providing temporary instrument sets for specific procedures or territories, generating recurring service-style revenue.
3. Bone Allograft and Biologics: Sale of bone graft products including TriOsteo structural allografts and OsteoPore Plus DBM, complementing the core implant portfolio and enabling bundled procedural solutions.
