SpineTech

Spine-Tech was a pioneering medical device company that revolutionized the field of spinal surgery through the development of the BAK Interbody Fusion Cage. Founded in the early 1990s, the company focused on providing less invasive surgical solutions for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease and other spinal conditions. Its flagship BAK cage technology became the industry standard for interbody fusion, significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. The company's commercial success and innovative portfolio led to its acquisition by Sulzer Medica in 1998 for approximately $600 million. Today, the legacy of Spine-Tech's technology continues as part of the spine division of Zimmer Biomet.
