Stryker Completes Sale of U.S. Spinal Implants Business to VB Spine

Stryker has finalized the sale of its U.S. spinal implants business to Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC, which will operate under the newly established company VB Spine, LLC. The move aligns with Stryker’s strategy to sharpen its focus on high-growth areas and innovation opportunities.

While divesting the spinal implants segment, Stryker remains active in the spine market through its Interventional Spine, Neurotechnology, and Enabling Technologies divisions, as well as a strategic partnership with VB Spine. As part of the agreement, VB Spine gains exclusive rights to use Mako Spine and Copilot technologies with its implants during spine procedures.

The transition of certain international markets to VB Spine is pending legal and regulatory approvals. Stryker expressed gratitude to its Spine team and confidence in their future success under VB Spine.
