Alliant Biotech

What Alliant Biotech does

Alliant Biotech, LLC is a privately held medical device distributor and specialty biotechnology subsidiary of Alliant Enterprises, LLC, headquartered at 2140 Oak Industrial Dr NE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 2020 and operating with roughly 71 employees across the parent group, the company sells a diversified product catalog spanning orthopedic implants (Symmetric Total Knee, Symmetric Unicompartmental Knee System, Low-Profile Cable System), surgical instruments (rongeurs, positioners, osteotomes, retractors, mallets), biologics (Mg OSTEOCRETE, Shark Screw Allograft, AlloMate Bone Pin System), wound care (SilverStream, ActiGraftPRO, Absorbest DryMax), emergency devices (Res-Q-Warm Heating System), and personal protective equipment (ReadiMask strapless N95 respirator).

The technology base combines proprietary formulations, patented designs, and licensed brand IP. SilverStream and ReadiMask carry patented or proprietary architectures — SilverStream as a synergistic ionic-silver wound management solution and ReadiMask as a strapless adhesive-seal N95 platform NIOSH-approved under TC-84A-8133, manufactured by Avery Dennison and licensed from Global Safety First, LLC for US and Canadian distribution. Orthopedic implants integrate a Micro Seal locking mechanism and arc-deposited titanium coating. Production is partly internalized via sister company Medisurge, which assumed exclusive manufacturing of knee and hip implants from Signal Medical Corporation in January 2023.

The business model is a hybrid of B2B distribution and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. The company holds Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification, granting preferential access to VA and DoD hospital procurement — its core anchor channel. Secondary channels include healthcare provider sales via a quote-request system, Project N95's vetted marketplace, and direct online sales of ReadiMask with tiered bulk pricing that can reach 75% discounts on five-or-more case orders. Revenue streams consist of medical device distribution, licensed ReadiMask brand sales in the US and Canada, and consumer PPE. Pricing for orthopedic products is quote-based, while ReadiMask follows published unit pricing with progressive volume discounts.
