Highridge Medical Acquires Spinal Products from Accelus

Highridge Medical acquired the FlareHawk and Toro expandable interbody fusion systems and the LineSider pedicle screw from Accelus. These product acquisitions will integrate Accelus’s proprietary Adaptive Geometry implant designs into the Highridge portfolio, with offerings for both hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings.

The FlareHawk expandable interbody fusion system features a minimal insertion profile and controlled in situ multiplanar expansion, designed to restore foraminal height and sagittal balance while reducing subsidence and conforming to the patient’s endplates. The Toro expandable interbody fusion system represents continued innovation in multidirectional expandable cage technology and novel instrumentation. The LineSider modular pedicle screw system is noted for its greater procedural visibility, versatility, and efficiency.

“As we build out a compelling Highridge product portfolio and deepen our commitment to innovative minimally invasive lumbar spine solutions, we believe these Accelus products are a great strategic fit for our business,” said Rebecca Whitney, CEO of Highridge Medical. “This agreement puts the differentiated products Accelus has developed into the hands of our established and comprehensive sales force to serve a broader market, allowing us to bring a more robust portfolio of spine solutions to our current and future surgeon customers and the patients they serve.”

“The sale of these products to Highridge Medical represents a win for our current surgeon customers and many others who will gain access as a result of Highridge’s broad sales and distribution network,” added Kevin McGann, President & CEO of Accelus. “We are proud of our clinical outcomes and are confident that Highridge Medical will further elevate and expand the impact of our product portfolio to benefit more surgeons and patients.”
