Ortho Solutions

What Ortho Solutions does

Ortho Solutions GmbH is a privately held German medical device manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Wurmlingen near Tuttlingen, a region described by the company as the world's most important center for medical technology. The company designs, manufactures, and sells orthopedic and traumatological implants and instruments — bone plates, screws, and fixation devices used to treat fractures and deformities — with its entire product range produced in Germany from titanium, titanium alloy, and antimagnetic implant-grade stainless steel, all certified to EN ISO 13485:2016 (the European quality-management standard for medical devices) and EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC (the European medical-devices directive).

Its product portfolio spans standard plating in mini (1.5/2.0mm), small (2.7/3.5mm), and large (4.5/6.5mm) fragment sizes, the proprietary Perfect Lock angular-stable locking plate and screw system offered in both small- and large-fragment variants, DHS/DCS (Dynamic Hip Screw / Dynamic Condylar Screw) systems, a broad bone-screw catalog including cannulated screws (hollow screws that can be threaded over a guide wire for precise placement), and the Ilizarov Ringfixateur (Ilizarov Ring Fixator) for complex fractures and deformity correction — which is sold internationally but not approved for sale in Europe. Two sub-brands extend the franchise: Perfect Lock for the locking systems and VET-Line for veterinary orthopedic implants including TPLO plates (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy plates, used in canine knee surgery), acetabulum plates (hip-joint socket plates), and veterinary screws. Beyond the catalog, Ortho Solutions offers an OEM/private-label manufacturing service covering 2D/3D CAD/CAM drawings, prototype development, series production, laser marking, and sales-ready packaging for customer-specified implants and instruments, plus a separate contract-machining line for surgical instruments and milled parts.

The business runs a sales-led go-to-market motion, distributing direct to the international medical technology market and to OEM customers through private-label and contract-manufacturing engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition is driven by the company's website (German and English), downloadable product catalogs, and direct email/phone contact rather than digital marketing. The customer base spans three segments: human traumatology and orthopedics (hospitals, clinics, and surgical professionals), veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, and OEM accounts — other medical-device companies purchasing custom or white-label implants, instruments, and components. The company is led by three managing directors (Geschäftsführer) — Thomas Welte, Nadine Koch, and Dr. Nayef bin Dajim — with Reiner Bohnert listed as owner and managing director and also serving as data protection officer (Datenschutzbeauftragter).
