OrthoPediatrics Establishes Enabling Technologies Division

OrthoPediatrics Corp. has joined its adult implant counterparts in creating an Enabling Technologies division.

The new department aims to apply pediatric orthopedic solutions to new areas within digital health and advanced technology. Led by industry veteran Kevin Unger, the Enabling Technologies division is set to differentiate OrthoPediatrics’ core business, generate sustainable revenue growth, and access new markets and specialties beyond orthopedics, according to the company.

“We are thrilled to introduce the new Enabling Technologies division, which will help us expand our ability to positively impact more children and provide significant long-term growth opportunities,” OrthoPediatrics CEO David Bailey said. “This marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to innovation and helping kids. We believe these advancements will not only support our mission to improve pediatric care but also position us at the forefront of the pediatric digital health and enabling technologies sectors.”
 
OrthoPediatrics has made significant strides in enabling technologies through its distribution of the 7D Flash Navigation System and partnership with 3D Side S.A. for patient-specific cutting guides. These initiatives, the company claims, have laid a strong foundation for the Enabling Technologies division. Building on those moves, OrthoPediatrics plans to launch two technology platforms:

• Playbook: A cutting-edge surgical workflow and outcome optimization platform designed to enhance surgical planning, collaboration, and intraoperative workflow. Playbook aims to revolutionize the way in which surgeries are planned and executed, resulting in improved outcomes and more efficient processes.
• Robotic-Assistance for Cochlear Implant Technology: OrthoPediatrics has partnered with iotaMotion Inc. to bring a robotic-assisted insertion system designed to enhance the cochlear implant surgery. This technology offers a slow electrode array insertion that is agnostic to cochlear implant manufacturer, providing greater control and precision for pediatric patients. 

Founded in 2006, OrthoPediatrics is focused exclusively on advancing pediatric orthopedics. It has developed a comprehensive portfolio with more than 70 products that serve three of the largest categories within the pediatric orthopedic market. This product offering spans trauma and deformity, scoliosis, and sports medicine/other procedures. The company distributes its products in the United States and over 70 countries outside the United States.
