Veterinary Orthopedic Implants

What Veterinary Orthopedic Implants does

Veterinary Orthopedic Implants (VOI) designs, manufactures, and distributes specialty orthopedic implants, instruments, and power equipment for small animal (canine and feline) surgery. Founded in 1992 by Claude Gendreau in Saint Augustine, Florida, the company was established to fill the gap between veterinary practice needs and the inadequate use of repurposed human implants. VOI stocks over 10,000 SKUs spanning fracture plates, locking systems, TPLO plate families (Elite, Versiv, BioCurve, T Style, Compresiv DT Locking, NGD Unity Cruciate, TPLOCurve), Pearl Locking implants, Multi-Procedure cuttable plates, and a 1.5mm plating system for toy breeds. Its proprietary HyProtect plasma-applied elemental silver coating delivers continuous antimicrobial ion diffusion for up to three months and is offered as a differentiated option on selected implants. Adjacent offerings include the V Drive surgical power system, MicroSilver wound spray, suture materials sourced via DemeTECH, and custom plate cutting/contouring services.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales to veterinary professionals (Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons as the primary segment, plus general practice vets, mobile surgeons, and hospital/clinic buyers), supplemented by professional services (power equipment repair for Stryker, Aesculap, DeSoutter, and pneumatic systems regardless of original purchase source, and consultation with Board-Certified Surgeons). Distribution runs through a US e-commerce webstore under the Movora umbrella, inside sales (phone 8am-6pm ET, plus 24-hour fax/email order acceptance), and regional field representatives, with international reach via distribution partners in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Canada, and Europe. Pricing is quote-based, undisclosed publicly, and supported by a competitor price-matching program, an annual bulk-order program for mobile surgical practices, and a satisfaction guarantee on sutures. RACE-approved continuing education labs in TPLO, TTA, CBLO, and fracture repair function as both a marketing channel and a switching-cost moat. VOI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Movora, which is in turn owned by Sweden-listed Vimian Group AB; sister brands include BioMedtrix and KYON, with additional channel acquisitions (Freelance Surgical in the UK, Kahu Vet Group in ANZ) extending the platform's footprint. Patrick Gendreau (grandson of co-founder Lionel Gendreau and nephew of Claude Gendreau) serves as President and CEO.
