What Perios does

Perios is an Australian medical device distributor founded in 2011 and headquartered in Windsor, Australia, specializing in orthopaedic and cardiothoracic products. The company distributes a curated portfolio of implants and surgical systems from approximately ten international manufacturers — including FH Orthopaedics (TLS short-graft ACL reconstruction, Calcanail), Paragon 28 (Gorilla Plating System, MiniMonster Screws), Waston Medical (Claw sternal closure plate), ITS Implants (Revolution X Pelvic Reconstruction), Symbios (patient-specific Origin TKR and INDIVIDUAL hip stem), Carbofix (carbon-fibre-PEEK composite plates), Auxein, Neoligaments, Synergy Biomedical (Biosphere), and Austofix (MIS foot) — across categories covering shoulder, hip and pelvis, knee, foot and ankle, cardiothoracic, and biologics. Its product range includes a TGA-approved custom total knee replacement, radiolucent carbon-fibre trauma plates, novel intramedullary calcaneal fracture nails, and comprehensive foot/ankle plating systems.

The company operates a sales-led, training-driven go-to-market model targeting orthopaedic and cardiothoracic surgeons in Australian hospitals and day surgeries. Distribution is hybrid: direct field sales to enterprise hospital and procurement customers, complemented by a network of sub-distribution partners (Infiniti Medical, PurePlay Ortho, Pulse Ortho, Tasman Medtech, Sanatus Medical) that extend state-level coverage. Perios monetises through hardware distribution margins on implants and instruments, and supports adoption via cadaveric workshops, bespoke one-on-one labs, sponsored fellowships in Sports Knee and MIS Foot, an annual national MIS cadaveric course in Sydney, and dinner presentations and conference participation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Reported scale signals include approximately 2,000 TLS ACL procedures per year in Australia (80,000+ internationally) and over 4,500 Claw sternal closure procedures in Australia since 2018. The company is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors in the source data.
