Pega Medical

What Pega Medical does

Pega Medical, legally operating as OrthoPediatrics Canada ULC, is a Canadian medical device manufacturer founded in 1994 in Montreal and headquartered in Laval, Quebec. The company specializes exclusively in pediatric orthopedic implants, designing and producing devices specifically engineered to accommodate the developing anatomy and growth of children — a positioning the company describes as the first medical device manufacturer fully devoted to pediatric orthopedic implants. Its portfolio comprises eight proprietary implant systems including the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System (a self-extending intramedullary rod for Osteogenesis Imperfecta and skeletal dysplasia), the Hinge Pediatric Plating System (guided growth for knee deformities), the GAP Nail Endo-Exo Medullary System (combined intramedullary and lateral plate fixation), the Free Gliding SCFE Screw System (self-extending screw for slipped capital femoral epiphysis), the SLIM Simple Locking Intramedullary System, the LolliPOP Locking Pediatric Osteotomy Plate, Dr. Paley's Osteotomy System, and GIRO.

Pega Medical operates a B2B go-to-market model, selling and distributing its implants through a global network of authorized distributors across more than 50 countries spanning Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Oceania. End customers are pediatric orthopedic surgeons and hospitals that require growth-compatible implants for rare and specialized conditions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct sales contact. The company maintains a professional website with surgeon-focused resources, including a dedicated 'For Users' portal with product documentation, surgical technique guides, and patient education materials, complemented by a private training portal.

On July 1, 2022, Pega Medical was acquired by OrthoPediatrics Corp. (NASDAQ: KIDS), a publicly traded U.S.-based pediatric orthopedic company, and now operates as a subsidiary within OrthoPediatrics' broader portfolio of trauma, spine, scoliosis, foot deformity bracing, and lengthening devices. The combined entity benefits from shared R&D, regulatory, and distribution infrastructure. Pega Medical's reported headcount is 11-50 employees, consistent with a focused specialty product line rather than a broad diversified manufacturer.

Core offering

Pega Medical designs, develops, evaluates, and manufactures specialty orthopedic implants for pediatric patients. Its portfolio includes telescopic intramedullary rods, pediatric plating systems, endo-exo medullary nails, self-extending screws, and osteotomy plate systems used to treat Osteogenesis Imperfecta, skeletal dysplasia, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, bone deformities, and fractures in children. Products are specifically engineered to accommodate skeletal growth, reducing repeat surgeries.

Product overview

Pega Medical is the first medical device manufacturer fully devoted to the development of specialty orthopedic implants for children. The company offers a portfolio of 8 distinct pediatric orthopedic implant systems designed for treating children with developing anatomies. The core product line includes telescopic intramedullary systems (Fassier-Duval, SLIM), plating systems (Hinge, LolliPOP), specialized screws (Free Gliding SCFE), and osteotomy systems (GAP Nail, Dr Paley's Osteotomy System, GIRO). These products are designed specifically for pediatric patients, accounting for the critical factor of growth in treatment planning. Pega Medical was acquired by OrthoPediatrics in July 2022, expanding their combined portfolio of trauma, spine, foot deformity bracing, and lengthening devices for children.
