What Orthomed does

Orthomed designs, manufactures, and distributes proprietary veterinary orthopaedic implants, instruments, and surgical systems for small animal practitioners worldwide. Its core franchise spans the MMP (Modified Maquet Procedure) cruciate repair system, SOP interlocking plate system for fracture fixation, RidgeStop patella luxation repair, NXP intramedullary pins, ARCIS bone screw fasteners powered by UnifiMI technology, and the carpal arthrodesis and TPLO systems. Under the Neuromed sub-brand the company also sells neurology products including the invetra pedicle screw system, neuromesh cranial mesh, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and through its prior 2017 acquisition of Infiniti Medical it distributes soft tissue surgery products. Patented technology (SOP plates are protected under US10,085,780 and US10,932,835) and a high-percentage UK-based manufacturing base underpin a positioning around gold-standard veterinary implants.

The business model combines one-time sales of surgical starter kits ($1,406-$6,328) and individual components ($195-$945) with revenue from professional education delivered through the Orthomed Academy, including wet-lab workshops, online courses, and VR training. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct e-commerce across five regional storefronts (UK, US, EU, AU, NZ), regional sales offices, and channel partners including STK-VET in the DACH region and Fourlimb in Australia. Customer acquisition is structurally tied to surgeon certification, as Orthomed requires practitioners to complete workshops before purchasing certain systems, which doubles as a defensible training moat and a demand-generation engine. As of March 2025 Orthomed is owned by Creative Science, a Cima Animal Health company, following its acquisition alongside Infiniti Medical.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Movora (formerly Securos Surgical and BioMedtrix): US-headquartered veterinary orthopaedic implant and instrument company (formed from merger of Securos and BioMedtrix). Directly comparable to Orthomed across plating, cruciate repair, hip replacement, and surgical instrumentation for small animals.
• KYON: Swiss veterinary orthopaedic implant company specialising in TPLO plates, locking plates, fracture repair, and joint replacement for small animals. Highly comparable to Orthomed on product range (TPLO, plating systems) and customer base (specialist veterinary surgeons).
• IMEX Veterinary: Long-established US veterinary orthopaedic implant maker with interlocking nails, external fixators, plates, and TPLO systems. Direct peer in core plating and fracture repair product categories serving the same veterinary surgical customer base.
• Veterinary Orthopedic Implants (VOI): US-based veterinary orthopaedic implant manufacturer focused on TPLO, fracture plating, and specialty implants for small animal surgery. Direct peer competing in the same orthopaedic implant categories Orthomed serves.
• Surgical Direct: Distributor and developer of veterinary surgical instrumentation and orthopaedic consumables serving small animal hospitals. Comparable through its combination of proprietary instrument lines and direct-to-clinic distribution model.
• VetOvation: US veterinary surgical device company offering plating systems, TPLO, and orthopaedic instruments for small animal surgeons. Direct peer competing on implant systems and surgical instrumentation with overlapping customer segments.
• Everost: Veterinary orthopaedic implant and instrument company offering plates, screws, TPLO systems, and external fixation for small animal surgery. Direct peer to Orthomed on product mix and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Arthrex Vet Systems: Veterinary division of Arthrex, the global sports medicine orthopaedic company. Offers a broad orthopaedic and soft tissue repair portfolio for animals; comparable on orthopaedic technology and surgeon training, but operates as a veterinary arm of a much larger parent.
• DePuy Synthes Vet (Johnson & Johnson): Veterinary applications of Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopaedic franchise. Broad incumbent with deep R&D and global hospital coverage; overlapping capabilities in plating and fracture repair rather than a specialised vet-native product line.
• B. Braun Vet Care: Animal health division of B. Braun, the global medical device manufacturer. Provides surgical instruments, implants, and wound care for veterinary use; comparable on instruments and orthopaedic consumables, but as part of a much broader human-and-animal medical portfolio.
