Globus Medical, Inc.
A maker of implants and tools used in spine surgery, Globus Medical designs everything from spinal screws and cages to robotic and navigation systems that help surgeons place them. Founded in 2003 by mechanical engineer David Paul, a former director of product development at Synthes, the Pennsylvania company has grown to sell its devices in more than 100 countries. Its name comes from the Latin "globus," meaning globe or sphere — a nod to its worldwide reach.
