What Anatomics does
Anatomics is a Melbourne-based, Australian-owned medical device company founded in 1995 by neurosurgeon Paul D'Urso that pioneered CT scan-derived surgical implant technology. The company designs and manufactures patient-specific 3D-printed implants and surgical planning tools from CT and MRI scan data, serving neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons, thoracic surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons across cranial, spinal, facial, and thoracic applications. Its core proprietary technology is StarPore®, a porous high-density polyethylene polymer tissue scaffold that allows patient cells and tissue to integrate into the implant — the only synthetic material in this category cleared by FDA 510(k) for custom CMF applications.
The product portfolio spans patient-specific custom implants (StarPore cranial, thoracic, and facial implants; patient-specific titanium spine cages and plates; AnatomicsAcrylic PMMA and AnatomicsTitanium cranial implants; silicone thoracic implants), surgical planning and intra-operative tools (BioModels, Cutting Guides, Drill Guides, Surgical Templates, SpineTube retractors, SpineGuide drill guides, and the SpineBox surgical kit), and off-the-shelf devices including the SkullPro® wearable cranial cover. The company operates an AnatomicsRx cloud-based ordering portal with DICOM upload and the AnatomicsC3D collaboration suite (C3DSession, C3DView) that allows remote surgeon-engineer co-design of implants. Manufacturing is concentrated at an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility in Bentleigh East, Melbourne.
Anatomics monetizes through per-procedure pricing of custom implants and one-time fees for surgical tools and kits, with distribution split between direct enterprise sales to hospitals and a network of global channel partners including B.Braun, Medtronic, LMT Surgical, Life Healthcare, Telemed Medical, and Raumedic. The company exports to approximately 40 countries, is FDA cleared and EU MDR compliant, and HIPAA/GDPR aligned. Revenue and earnings are not publicly disclosed; the company is founder-owned and primarily capitalized through Australian government grants (notably the BioMedTech Horizons program) rather than institutional equity rounds.
