Kator

Kator is an orthopedic medical device company specializing in advanced soft tissue-to-bone repair solutions. The company's primary innovation is the KATOR Suture Anchor System, which combines the strength of a transosseous repair with the efficiency of a suture anchor. This technology is designed to improve clinical outcomes for patients undergoing rotator cuff or Achilles tendon repairs by providing a larger footprint and higher mechanical stability. Founded in 2013 and based in Salt Lake City, Kator was established by a team of experienced medical device entrepreneurs. In December 2021, the company was acquired by ConMed Corporation for approximately $52 million plus potential earn-outs. Today, Kator's products are integrated into ConMed's sports medicine portfolio, serving surgeons and patients globally.
