Arthrex acquires Cardo Medical

Quote
With totals becoming a commodity, pricing has become the number one selling point, especially when shrewd orthopods that get together and open their own surgery centers. You also have these large buying groups of several hospital systems negotiating with Zimmer, Stryker, S&N etc...its all about price. If cardo comes drops their price to 1k, its going to cause quite a stir.

Not if it falls out after a year. It still has to actually work. Ask all the Depuy ASR docs. If big companies can't get it right, why trust a POS new company? Docs would rather use our 15 year old Maxim...

Arthrex sell something less expensive than the competition? Never going to happen...so don't worry about a price war.
 










































Not sure, but I do know that the iBalance company had an HTO platform when it was looking to get bought, as well as a uni knee product that was in the pipeline. don't know if this is the same one they had or something Arthrex developed. Most likely this is something arthrex saw some value in at the time of buying ibalance. will be interesting to see how arthrex does in this space - probably would have been a better acquisition for one of the total joint companies - biomet and zimmer and others have decent pre-tka product lines that would've been a good fit.
