Innovasive Devices

Innovasive Devices was a medical technology company specializing in the development of minimally invasive surgical devices for sports medicine and soft tissue repair. The company's core product line featured the ROC and ROC XS suture fasteners, which were polymer-based devices used to anchor soft tissue to bone in procedures such as rotator cuff repairs. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, the company became a leader in the arthroscopic surgery market. In 2000, Innovasive Devices was acquired by Johnson & Johnson for approximately $85 million and integrated into its Mitek Surgical Products subsidiary. This acquisition significantly expanded Johnson & Johnson's portfolio in the sports medicine sector, particularly in arthroscopic soft tissue fixation.
