What Surgi-Tec does
Surgi-Tec nv is a Belgian medical device manufacturer founded around 2005 and headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, that designs, produces, and sells proprietary titanium implants and instruments for cranio-maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery. Its core product portfolio centers on three families: Transpalatal Distractors (TPD) in three variants (NEO, All-in-One, Classic) for skeletal transverse widening of the maxilla; Orthodontic Bone Anchors (OBA) including standard and SLA-treated versions for fixed intraoral skeletal anchorage; and Osteosynthesis Slotplates (OSP) with an innovative slot design that allows intraoperative repositioning without screw removal. Supporting screws and instruments, including surgical tools designed by Prof. M. Mommaerts, round out the proprietary line. All products are manufactured from grade 5 titanium in an ISO 13485 certified in-house CNC micro-machining facility equipped with Willemin 408MT, DECO 13, EvoDECO 16, and Schaublin 125 ccn machines; finished devices are CE certified under EU MDR as Class IIb medical devices.
Surgi-Tec serves two primary end-user segments: oral and maxillofacial surgeons performing orthognathic procedures (Le Fort I osteotomies, genioplasty, distraction osteogenesis), and orthodontists requiring skeletal anchorage for controlled tooth movement. Beyond its own devices, the company exclusively distributes complementary products in Belgium and selected markets, including Medartis Titanium Trauma Splints, DB Orthodontics Infinitas mini-implants, META Safescraper bone harvesters, MD Medical instruments, Meekers Medical products, risa cutting tools, and NTOC sterilization cassettes, positioning itself as a single-source orthognathic supplier.
The business operates a dual-channel go-to-market: a verified direct webshop selling at unit prices of roughly €13.80 per screw, €55.48 per OBA/OSP unit, and €499.50 per TPD module, restricted to European surgeons; and a network of ten specialized medical device distributors covering Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, the UK, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, Greece, and Cyprus. A third revenue stream comes from CNC subcontracting services for external medical and mechanical clients using the same ISO 13485 facility. The company has a team of eight employees and consultants under founder-led management (CEO Karin Scheerlinck), no disclosed institutional funding, and operates with a ~20-year reputation in a narrow surgical niche.

Surgi-Tec competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- DB Orthodontics: UK-based orthodontic mini-implant manufacturer. Surgi-Tec already distributes DB Orthodontics' Infinitas mini-implants in Belgium, evidencing direct product overlap in orthodontic bone anchorage.
- Matrix Surgical USA: US-based CMF implant specialist focused on distraction osteogenesis and craniofacial reconstruction, directly competing with Surgi-Tec's transpalatal distractor category.
- Jeil Medical: Korean manufacturer of CMF plating systems, mini-screws, and bone anchors. Closely comparable to Surgi-Tec's OBA and OSP lines and an active exporter into European markets.
Broad incumbents
- Zimmer Biomet: Major orthopedic and surgical implant manufacturer with CMF product lines. Competes broadly in facial reconstruction and fixation where Surgi-Tec also operates.
- B. Braun (Aesculap): Global medical device group with CMF and surgical instrument offerings that overlap with Surgi-Tec's plates, screws, and orthognathic instruments, though as part of a much broader portfolio.
- DePuy Synthes (Johnson & Johnson): Global orthopedic and CMF implant leader with a comprehensive CMF plating, screw, and distraction portfolio. Competes with Surgi-Tec in orthognathic fixation and bone-borne distraction but with vastly greater scale and reach.
- Stryker (CMF / Craniomaxillofacial): Large diversified medtech with a CMF division offering distraction, fixation, and plating systems for maxillofacial surgery. Overlaps with Surgi-Tec's core categories but as part of a much broader portfolio.
Direct peers
- KLS Martin Group: German-headquartered specialist in cranio-maxillofacial surgery implants, distractors, and osteosynthesis plates. Directly competes with Surgi-Tec's TPD and OSP product lines and serves the same oral/maxillofacial surgeon customer base across Europe.
- Medartis: Swiss specialist in cranio-maxillofacial and hand surgery implants. Surgi-Tec already distributes Medartis TTS in Belgium, evidencing close product adjacency; Medartis competes directly in CMF plates, screws, and trauma splints.
- OsteoMed: US-headquartered CMF and small bone specialist. Notably already a Surgi-Tec distributor in France, evidencing product-level comparability in osteosynthesis plates and screws for maxillofacial surgery.
