SpineCraft, Spartan Medical Extend Collaboration

U.S. veterans and their doctors will have greater access to spinal technologies and solutions, thanks to a strategic partnership between SpineCraft and Spartan Medical Inc.

The partnership furthers an existing relationship and collaboration between the two organizations, expanding access to SpineCraft’s portfolio to physicians and patients at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) medical facilities worldwide. 

“As the spinal industry has evolved, we’ve seen an exponential race to the bottom driven by lower cost demands from hospital systems and group purchasing organizations (GPOs),” Spartan Medical Founder/President Vince Proffitt said. “To maintain profit margins, many companies in this space look to outsource manufacturing, which has the potential to affect product quality and durability. Through our firm, fixed, fair pricing on two nationwide federal contracts, coupled with 16 years of independence through private ownership, we aren’t held captive to the same market pressures, allowing our organization to stay laser focused on sourcing best-in-class solutions for veterans and our service men and women…made here in America.”

“We are excited to further grow our relationship with Spartan Medical in the federal government,” SpineCraft President/CEO Wagdy Asaad, M.D., stated. 

“We value Vince and the Spartan team and are excited to further focus and expand this important segment of our business,” SpineCraft Sales and Marketing Vice President Brian Oliver added. “This collaboration underscores SpineCraft’s commitment to delivering elegant solutions to surgeons and hospitals through Spartan’s contracts.”

SpineCraft develops and manufactures spinal implants and instruments. The Westmont, Ill.-based company focuses on research, education, and quality, while still placing great value in relationships, customer experience, and corporate culture.
