Enovis (formerly Colfax Corporation's medical technology segment, which is now a standalone company following Colfax's strategic split) operates as a medical technology company focused on clinically differentiated therapeutic solutions. The portfolio consists of multiple distinct brands organized into product categories: (1) Bracing & Supports including DonJoy (knee/ankle bracing leader), Aircast (walking braces), Procare (value bracing), and Exos (external orthotics); (2) Surgical Implants under Enovis Surgical covering hip, knee, upper extremity implants, cement solutions, and Mathys & Lima Implants; (3) Foot & Ankle implants through Trilliant (rearfoot, midfoot, forefoot) and biologics; (4) Recovery & Rehabilitation including Chattanooga (therapy systems, bone growth stimulators like Manafuse, VitalStim electrotherapy), Compex (muscle stimulators); (5) Healthcare Solutions with MotionMD and OfficeCare for DME workflow management; (6) SpineCare for spine bracing and bone growth stimulation; and (7) Patient-facing digital tools like Better Step for bunion treatment. The company also recently launched ASTRA Arvis surgical visualization technology. The platform-plus-modules architecture enables cross-selling across orthopedic care pathways from injury prevention through surgical intervention to rehabilitation.
