Smith and Nephew + Essex Woodlands = Bioventus


Smith & Nephew has agreed to create a joint venture with Essex Woodlands, a specialist health care growth equity and venture capital firm, to create a new biologics company called Bioventus. Smith & Nephew's EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System will now be marketed through Bioventus.

Although our focus at FootandAnkleFixation.com is not on biologics, the EXOGEN bone stimulator is routinely used in conjuction with foot and ankle surgery. The available foot and ankle fixation products by Smith & Nephew can be viewed here.
