Spine Wave was founded in February 2001 by Mark LoGuidice and John Pafford, former executives for Sofamor Danek, to commercialize the Company’s proprietary injectable spinal nucleus technology. The simultaneous Series A financing and acquisition of VERTx in 2002, a company founded and led by Tyler Lipschultz, gave Spine Wave a novel technology focused on the rapidly growing vertebral compression fracture and spinal fusion market. In April 2007, the Company closed its Series D financing, raising an additional $45 million.
Today, the Company is focused on the development and marketing of clinical solutions for large and fast growing spinal market segments. The Company’s product portfolio includes the StaXx® XD Expandable Device, the CapSure® PS Spine System, the StaXx® FX Fracture Repair System, the NuCore® Injectable Nucleus, and several additional products in development.
