A&E Medical

A&E Medical is a medical device company specializing in high-performance products for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. The company's primary focus is on sternal closure systems, offering a portfolio that includes stainless steel sutures, the Tritium Sternal Cable System, and rigid fixation plating solutions. Beyond closure, A&E Medical provides essential surgical tools such as temporary cardiac pacing wires, surgical punches, and electrosurgical accessories. Founded in 1968 and based in Farmingdale, New Jersey, the company has built a reputation for innovation in rigid fixation and wire-based closure to improve patient recovery after sternotomy. In December 2020, A&E Medical was acquired by Zimmer Biomet, integrating its specialized thoracic products into Zimmer Biomet's global musculoskeletal healthcare business.
