What Ortosintese does

Ortosintese is a privately held Brazilian medical-device manufacturer founded in 1977 in São Paulo by Sebastião Galindo and Dirce Galindo, operating two divisions: Orthopedics and Hospital Equipment. The Orthopedics division produces a broad catalog of titanium and stainless-steel trauma implants (locked plate systems ORTOLOCK, SFS, STS; intramedullary nails Signus Proximal and Haste Fin/Mini Fin), hip and knee prostheses (UNION, MAGNUS, Harris Galante, Charnley, Moore, Thompson, NKS Plus), spine systems (Orion cervical, Phoenix occipito-cervical, Evolution Plus low-profile), craniomaxillofacial plates, sports medicine devices, and patient-specific implants produced via Electron Beam Melting (EBM) additive manufacturing of Ti6Al4V powder. The Equipment division supplies Central Sterile Supply infrastructure including vertical-lift and concentric-arm autoclaves, thermal disinfectors, drying cabinets, ultrasonic washers, electric surgical tables (MC 357), LED surgical lights (Lux LED), and stainless-steel workstations.

The company serves hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers across Brazil through a combination of a direct customer portal (Pyli) and an extensive regional distributor and representative network, while exporting orthopedic implants to more than 40 countries with more than 40% of production destined for international markets. All products are registered with ANVISA and the company operates under ISO 13485:2016 and ANVISA Good Manufacturing Practices certification. Equipment sales are supported by financing partnerships with BNDES (BNDES Card and BNDES Finame) and Sicoob, offering 6–48 month payment terms covering up to 70% of equipment value.

Commercial operations are anchored by 8,000 m² of manufacturing capacity in São Paulo, a dedicated CETEC training and R&D facility in Barra Funda, and a continuing program of trade-show participation (Hospitalar, CBTO, SBOT, TEOT, Expo Hospital Brasil, Health Meeting) and the DENTRO educational initiative aimed at surgeons, medical residents, and distributors. The company is family-owned, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and operates with 251–500 employees across headquarters, manufacturing, and CETEC locations in São Paulo.
