KIDS

Orthopediatrics Corp

A medical device company that designs and sells orthopedic implants and instruments made specifically for children, from screws and plates to trauma and deformity-correction systems used by pediatric surgeons. Founded in 2006 in Warsaw, Indiana, it was the first company to focus exclusively on pediatric orthopedics, born from a real problem: before it existed, surgeons had to improvise by fitting adult-sized implants into children's smaller, growing bones. Its name simply joins "ortho" (straight) with "pediatrics," the branch of medicine devoted to kids.
