Overview

OrthAlign manufactures KneeAlign, a computer-assisted navigation application for total knee replacement that has powered more than 65,000 surgeries and is supported by over 15 peer-reviewed studies. The company positions KneeAlign as a low-capital, sterile-field navigation alternative to large-console navigation and robotics, claiming reduced instrumentation and direct information delivery to surgeons. OrthAlign has expanded its commercial platform to include UniAlign for partial knee replacement and is developing HipAlign for total hip replacement; HipAlign was in limited user release with full commercialization slated for 2018. The company intends to transition from a single-solution provider to a platform technology provider serving total knee, partial knee, and total hip procedures. OrthAlign plans commercial expansion through hiring and programs in the U.S. and international markets. The business raised financing to support product development and continued commercial growth. OrthAlign, based in Aliso Viejo, CA, provides precision alignment technology and products for orthopedic surgeons. Its KneeAlign is a palm-sized, single-use device that provides both tibial and femoral navigation and is compatible with all implant systems. KneeAlign has been used in more than 21,000 cases worldwide. The company plans to launch OrthAlign Plus, a handheld navigation alternative for Total Hip Arthroplasty that allows surgeons to position the acetabular cup and measure leg length and offset; OrthAlign Plus is slated to be commercially available in early 2015. OrthAlign intends to use the $15M funding to launch the new hip product, increase sales and marketing activities, and continue international distributor expansion. The company is led by CEO William E. Maya. OrthAlign develops medical devices for computer-assisted surgery. The company is based in Laguna Beach.
