US-based paediatric orthopaedic company WishBone Medical has acquired all assets of the privately held medical device companies Back 2 Basics Direct (B2B) and Orbbö Surgical.

The acquired companies specialise in research, development and commercialisation of sterile packaged implants and surgical instruments for spinal fusion.

These acquisitions provide WishBone with nine FDA-cleared, sterile packaged, spinal fusion product lines with year one revenue projections of over $12m.

The company hopes these acquisitions will boost its position in the paediatric orthopaedic market.

According to the company, its go-to-market strategy includes the incorporation of ‘Back 2 Basics’ carbon composite biomaterials platform to its product development roadmap. It is expected to help the company deliver a pipeline of ‘highly differentiated and disruptive technologies’ as part of its paediatric implant portfolio.

WishBone Medical chief revenue officer Kevin Blue said: “Our entry into the paediatric spine segment marks yet another important milestone in our company’s history.
