Getinge, Zimmer Biomet Begin Ambulatory Surgery Center Partnership

Getinge and Zimmer Biomet began a strategic partnership, where Zimmer Biomet will distribute Getinge’s operating room capital products to its Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) customers.

The partnership, according to the duo, creates a turnkey solution for ASC customers. They can now access Getinge’s infection control and surgical portfolio, as well as Zimmer Biomet’s menu of implants and surgical robotics from a single source.

This will become part of Zimmer Biomet’s ZBX ASC Solutions offering, combining Getinge’s infection control, surgical equipment, OR integration, and monitoring with Zimmer Biomet’s joint replacement implants and technology.

“For us, this partnership represents a significant advancement in our efforts to innovate and expand the boundaries of healthcare,” said Patricia Fitch, President of North America at Getinge. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Zimmer Biomet to deliver value to healthcare professionals and patients within the orthopedic ASC sector. This collaboration shows our commitment to making life-saving technology accessible to more people.”

The partnership will be implemented in phases, starting in the U.S. The combined portfolio of ASC solutions will eventually be offered in additional regions around the world.

“Together with Getinge, we’re expanding our ability to deliver a comprehensive, turnkey solution for our ASC customers—faster and more seamlessly—from a company they know and trust,” said Jehanzeb Noor, Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy, Innovation and Business Development Officer, Zimmer Biomet. “As orthopedic surgeries increasingly migrate from traditional hospital settings to ASCs, the imperative to drive efficiency, enhance patient safety, and improve clinical outcomes has never been greater. By aligning with Getinge, we’re accelerating our ability to support surgeons in advancing these priorities, while shaping the future of orthopedic care.”
