Stryker Completes Acquisition to Broaden Shoulder Surgery Offerings

Stryker (Portage, MI, USA) has completed its acquisition of ZuriMED (Zurich, Switzerland), a privately held developer of the FiberLocker System, expanding its Sports Medicine portfolio with a commercialized rotator cuff augmentation technology. The acquisition strengthens Stryker’s shoulder portfolio and broadens its range of solutions for surgeons specializing in sports medicine and shoulder care.

The FiberLocker System is designed to enhance the biomechanical strength of rotator cuff repairs, addressing an important clinical need in shoulder surgery. By integrating this technology into its portfolio, Stryker aims to provide surgeons with additional options for rotator cuff repair while expanding its offerings across the continuum of shoulder care.

“ZuriMED brings specialized expertise and a differentiated technology that complements our growing shoulder care capabilities. Together, we have an opportunity to advance the FiberLocker technology, expand access to innovative treatment options and deliver greater value for our customers and their patients,” said Andy Pierce, Group President, MedSurg and Neurotechnology, Stryker.
