Swiss extremity and CMF specialist Medartis Holding AG bought the M.A.R.C. Institute (Miami Anatomical Research Center) in Doral, Florida. The purchase price was undisclosed.
That is the headline. It is not the story.
The story is older than this deal, and it is one every orthopedic company eventually has to learn: you do not scale implants with brochures. You scale them when surgeons put their hands on the system, in a room that feels like an OR, with faculty they trust.
Medartis just bought that room for the Americas.
What They Actually Bought
M.A.R.C. is not a hospital and it is not a showroom. It is an independent, commercial bioskills lab where device companies, universities, and specialty societies run hands-on courses.
