BME

Bio-Medical Enterprises (BME) is a medical device company specializing in the development and manufacturing of nitinol shape memory implants for orthopedic and podiatric surgery. The company is recognized as a pioneer in the use of nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, to create implants that provide continuous active compression to facilitate bone healing and fixation. Their product portfolio includes a wide range of staples, plates, and intramedullary fixators designed for small bone procedures in the hand, foot, and ankle. Following its acquisition by Wright Medical Group (and subsequently Stryker), BME's technologies have been integrated into broader orthopedic portfolios to enhance surgical outcomes in extremity reconstruction.
