A look into three companies outside the U.S. in the $100 million to $300 million revenue bracket: LimaCorporate, Medartis and AK Medical.

Matt Woods, Founder of Ortho Consulting Group, touched on three key points as the European orthopedic market adapts in these unpredictable times: the cancellation of industry meetings due to COVID could slow the pace of innovation, EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and accelerating M&A activity.

Acumed and OsteoMed, both owned by Colson Medical, will gradually integrate over the coming year under the leadership of Acumed CEO Sharon Wolfington.

While the orthopedic market recovered faster than expected in the second quarter, we saw indications of deceleration heading into the third quarter.
