Sofamor Danek

Sofamor Danek is a prominent medical technology company specializing in spinal and cranial surgical solutions. Formed by the 1993 merger of the French company Sofamor and the American company Danek Group, it became a global leader in the spinal implant market. The company is widely recognized for its comprehensive portfolio of spinal fixation systems, image-guided surgery tools like the StealthStation, and orthobiologic products such as the Infuse Bone Graft. In 1999, Sofamor Danek was acquired by Medtronic for approximately $3.7 billion, serving as the foundation for Medtronic's Spinal and Biologics business unit. Today, it continues to operate as a subsidiary of Medtronic, focusing on advancing minimally invasive spine surgery and regenerative medicine.
