SurgiTech, LLC, and Amendia, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of spinal implants and surgical instruments, announce that they have entered into a license agreement for the patented SurgiFile® Spinal Decompression System.
“We are pleased to partner exclusively with Amendia on spinal applications of SurgiFile and will continue to pursue other applications such as total joint reconstruction, trauma and sports medicine for this platform technology.”

Patient comfort, ease of surgery, and improved surgical outcomes drive our product selection. The SurgiFile propels Amendia’s minimally invasive product portfolio into the growing spinal decompression market,” said Jeff Smith, CEO of Amendia.
“We are pleased to partner with Amendia because of their growing market penetration, strategic business alliances, and their focus on solutions for minimally invasive spinal surgery. They fully understand the product and its potential to make a difference in patient outcomes,” stated Wade Fallin, CEO of SurgiTech. “We are pleased to partner exclusively with Amendia on spinal applications of SurgiFile and will continue to pursue other applications such as total joint reconstruction, trauma and sports medicine for this platform technology.”
