WARSAW — WishBone Medical, Inc., announced the acquisition of Response Ortho.

Response Ortho has a complete pediatric line of external and internal fixation and deformity correction products.

Response Ortho has been in business for 14 years and has built a modern, high-tech manufacturing facility with access to an experienced engineering and technical labor force. Because of this, product development and launch activities have been dramatically accelerated for WishBone Medical with the Response Ortho offering over 30 developed pediatric orthopedic systems, with multiple patents, including the award-winning “Smart Correction” Hexapod Fixator and “Click2Correct” surgical preoperative planning software.

Eighteen of the current product systems can be sold in the U.S. now and the company is working on FDA clearance for the remaining products. The commitment is to provide global access to anatomically appropriate innovative implants and instruments in sterile packed, single-use, disposable kits for children.

“With the acquisition of Response Ortho, we are thrilled about our pediatric orthopedic product offerings,” said Nick Deeter, chairman of the board and CEO at WishBone Medical. “The combination of Response Ortho’s 30 product systems and WishBone’s eight product systems will give WishBone Medical the broadest product portfolio in pediatric orthopedics worldwide. These pediatric orthopedic products can be delivered in sterile packed, procedural kits anywhere in the world, next day, to the surgeons that care for children.”

“We are excited that Response Ortho is now part of WishBone Medical,” said Sehmuz Isin, CEO of Response Ortho. “Our primary focus has been outside the U.S., and we will now be able to offer these innovative orthopedic product systems everywhere. Having more than 50 years of combined experience, Nick and I understand the unmet needs and will provide global solutions to children with orthopedic issues.”
