What Care Surgical does

Care Surgical is a UK-headquartered, ISO 13485-certified medical device manufacturer specializing in patient positioning equipment for surgical procedures. Founded in 2016 and operating from Burscough, England with a US subsidiary in Hudson, Massachusetts, the company designs and produces a modular portfolio spanning spine surgery platforms (CS Universal Spine Extension, CS Spine Frame, CS Carbon Spine Extensions for Merivaara and Schmitz tables), prone head support systems (CS Prone Plus, CS ProneOne, face cushions and blocks), lithotomy stirrups (CS FlexiFin and FlexiFinless lines), articulating arm supports, and a broad accessory range of reusable and disposable pads, covers, and cushions. Core engineering differentiators include radiolucent materials for intra-operative imaging, 360-degree C-arm/O-arm access, powered-leg adjustment, velcro-free locking clips for infection control, and confirmed compatibility with the installed bases of Allen, Jackson, Merivaara, and Schmitz operating tables.

Care Surgical monetizes through one-time hardware sales of positioning devices and consumables (both disposable and reusable), with pricing handled via direct quote rather than public list. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct field-sales coverage in the UK and Americas (with dedicated UK/International and Americas sales lines and teams) combined with a global distributor network coordinated by an International Sales & Marketing Director responsible for global distributor training standards. The end customer base consists of acute care hospitals, surgical hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers performing spinal, orthopedic, and general surgical procedures; distribution is reached through medical industry events (EUROSPINE, BASS, BSOA, IGPP), a YouTube demonstration channel, and an extensive documentation and positioning-guide resource library. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public listing; the firm appears to be founder/management-owned and self-funded.
