You’d be hard-pressed to argue that the past decade hasn’t been a good one for medical device companies focused on the spine (Especially with me. Full disclosure: I’m involved in two spine startups. I’m on AxioMed’s technical advisory panel and I’m a minority shareholder of Innovative Surgical Designs. At the time of this writing, I also own shares of TranS1).
Sometimes it seems like you can’t swing a pedicle screw without hitting a new spine start-up. Anthony Viscogliosi recently estimated that are 200 venture capital-backed spine companies.
