Osteotec, Additive Surgical Team Up on 3D Printed Spine Tech

Osteotec has forged a U.K. distribution partnership with Additive Surgical for the latter firm’s spinal implants.
 
“This partnership is a testament to our dedication to bringing cutting-edge technologies to the U.K. market,” Osteotec National Spine Sales Manager Lisa Watts said. “By working with Additive Surgical we can offer surgeons customisable products that improve patient outcomes. We are excited to integrate Additive Surgical’s differentiated 3D-printed implants into our product lineup and offer U.K. surgeons solutions for their patients.”
 
Under the companies’ partnership agreement, Osteotec will exclusively distribute Additive Surgical’s spinal implant technologies in the United Kingdom.
 
“Our collaboration with Osteotec is an exciting step forward in our mission to bring cutting-edge spinal implant technology to the global market,” Additive Surgical Co-Founder/CEO Gibran Maher stated. “Osteotec’s reputation and connections within the U.K. medical community make them an ideal partner to introduce our 3D-printed solutions to U.K. surgeons. We can’t wait to officially launch in the U.K. market in the spring of 2025.”
 
Established in 1993, Osteotec manufactures and distributes medical devices (the Osteotec Silicone Finger, ChiroKlip, and the Concentric Bone Graft System). The company is headquartered in Newbury, U.K., and maintains offices in Dublin, Ireland, and Malmö, Sweden. Osteotec is a distribution partner for various orthopedic and spine partners including TriMed, SI-BONE, Enovis, and Mathys.
 
Additive Surgical was established in 2020 and is the first company in Australia to manufacture off-the-shelf 3D printed titanium spinal implant technologies using European intellectual property. After years of research and development the portfolio features proprietary PorOssity technology, featuring intricate biomimetic lattices and targeted porosity that promote bone growth. Additive Surgical’s product development approach empowers surgeons with significant design input, facilitating rapid iteration and implant design customizations. Clinicians understand the unmet clinical needs in spinal surgery, and the best spinal implant designs to solve these needs. This clinician-led innovation model has garnered partnerships with orthopedic and neurosurgeons throughout Australia and New Zealand.
