Highridge Medical acquired several spine surgery products from Accelus, including the FlareHawk and Toro expandable interbody fusion systems and the LineSider pedicle screw system. The move is intended to strengthen Highridge’s presence in the growing market for expandable spinal implants.
The acquired products feature proprietary designs, such as Accelus’s Adaptive Geometry, aimed at improving surgical outcomes in both hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings. Highridge stated the deal supports its broader strategy of expanding its research and development efforts through both internal innovation and external acquisitions.
“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.”
The FlareHawk system offers a minimal insertion profile with controlled, multiplanar expansion, designed to reduce implant subsidence and maintain spinal alignment. The Toro system advances multidirectional expansion technology with new instrumentation. The LineSider screw system is designed for enhanced procedural visibility and versatility.
Highridge says it will focus on ensuring a smooth transition for surgeons currently using these systems.
Westminster-based Highridge Medical is a medical device company focused on spine care solutions, including complex spine, motion preservation and minimally invasive surgery.
