Osteotec Ltd

Osteotec was founded three decades ago with a single goal – to improve people’s health at every stage of their life, delivering products and services with integrity and accountability. While the solutions we provide clinicians may have changed over the past 30 years, our commitment to helping deliver the best patient care possible has never wavered. Osteotec founder Gareth Thomas launches the business in June 1993, opening our first premises in Christchurch, Dorset, later that year. Osteotec becomes the UK’s first specialist small joints distributor, partnering with Wright Medical Technology in November 1993 to distribute products including the Swanson Finger. Osteotec also launches innovations including the Osteotec Spring Conference, the industry’s first dedicated podiatry surgery event which runs for more than a decade. Osteotec grows and diversifies, forming distribution partnerships with companies including Ascension, Synerception, Integra, Arex and TriMed. Launched in 2007, the Osteotec Silicone Finger is a comprehensive solution for MCP and PIP joints affected by osteoarthritis and is followed shortly by the Concentric Bone Graft (CBG) System for harvesting bone graft to aid bone fusion. Osteotec continues to be the partner of choice for manufacturers including Polyganics and DJO and in 2013 becomes the exclusive foot surgery distributor in the UK for Zimmer.
