Kinamed

Kinamed Incorporated is a privately held American medical device company headquartered at 820 Flynn Road in Camarillo, California. Established in 1987, the company designs and manufactures implantables and surgical instruments for three main clinical specialties: orthopedics, cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery. Its product portfolio is built around a small number of proprietary, clinically focused platforms rather than a broad commodity catalogue. In orthopedics, Kinamed's flagship technologies include the SuperCable Polymer Iso-Elastic Cerclage System, a polymer-based cable system intended to provide long-term dynamic compressive loading across healing bone fragments while avoiding the metal debris associated with traditional monofilament wire and cabling. The SuperCable platform has been extended with trochanteric grips and cable-plates featuring screw holes for locking or compression screws. The company also offers the CarboJet CO2 Bone Preparation System, a device that cleans and prepares bone surfaces by removing lipids, fatty marrow elements, blood and saline prior to cementation in order to improve cement fixation. For knee surgery, Kinamed markets the KineMatch Patient-Matched Patello-Femoral Replacement (PFR), a unicompartmental joint replacement designed for the small but challenging group of patients with isolated, end-stage patello-femoral disease, and the MD3T Multi-Directional Tibial Tubercle Transfer system for reliable, reproducible tibial tubercle transfer. In cardiothoracic surgery, the company applies its Iso-Elastic polymer cable technology to sternotomy closure, providing dynamic compression across healing bone fragments after chest surgery. In neurosurgery, Kinamed offers the NeuroPro Rigid Fixation System and the NeuroPro Low Profile Rigid Fixation System, complete cranial plating systems engineered for efficient use in the operating room and addressing craniotomy, cranioplasty and skull base applications in a single compact modular tray. The company also lists surgical navigation products under the NaviPro name for hip, knee and shoulder applications. Kinamed is certified by the British Standards Institute (BSI) to be in compliance with ISO 13485, and it is registered and licensed by the United States FDA and the California Department of Health Services. The company sells directly and through dealers, supports clinical meetings such as those of the International Cartilage Restoration Society and the Wisconsin Ortho Society, and maintains a toll-free customer line. Its President and CEO is Vineet Sarin, PhD, who was appointed to the Board of The Patellofemoral Foundation, reflecting the company's long-standing focus on anterior knee and patellofemoral care.

Kinamed Incorporated was established in 1987 and has since built its business around designing and manufacturing implantables and instruments for the orthopedics, cardiothoracic and neurosurgery specialties. From its base in Camarillo, California, the company developed a portfolio of proprietary platforms rather than a broad commodity range. A central thread in Kinamed's history is its Iso-Elastic polymer cable technology. The SuperCable Polymer Iso-Elastic Cerclage System was developed as a polymer-based alternative to traditional monofilament wire and cabling, designed to solve many of the inherent problems of those systems — notably metal debris generation — while providing long-term dynamic compressive loading across healing bone fragments. The platform was later extended with trochanteric grips and cable-plates featuring screw holes that allow placement of either locking or compression screws. The same Iso-Elastic polymer cable concept was adapted for cardiothoracic use as the SuperCable Polymer Iso-Elastic Sternotomy Closure system, providing dynamic compression across healing bone fragments after chest surgery. In orthopedic bone preparation, Kinamed introduced the CarboJet CO2 Bone Preparation System, a device that cleans and prepares bone surfaces by removing lipids, fatty marrow elements, blood and saline prior to cementation, with the aim of improving cement fixation. In knee surgery, the company developed the KineMatch Patient-Matched Patello-Femoral Replacement, a unicompartmental joint replacement designed specifically for the small but challenging group of patients with isolated, end-stage patello-femoral disease, offering a conservative resurfacing solution. Kinamed also markets the MD3T Multi-Directional Tibial Tubercle Transfer system for reliable, reproducible tibial tubercle transfer. In neurosurgery, Kinamed developed the NeuroPro Rigid Fixation System, a complete cranial plating system engineered for efficient use in the operating room and addressing craniotomy, cranioplasty and skull base applications in a single compact modular tray. A low-profile version, the NeuroPro Low Profile Rigid Fixation System, was subsequently offered. The company also lists surgical navigation products under the NaviPro name for hip, knee and shoulder applications. Quality and regulatory compliance have been part of the company's operating model: Kinamed is certified by the British Standards Institute (BSI) to be in compliance with ISO 13485, and it is registered and licensed by the United States FDA and the California Department of Health Services. The company sells through direct channels and dealers, supports clinical meetings such as those of the International Cartilage Restoration Society and the Wisconsin Ortho Society, and maintains a toll-free customer line. Its President and CEO, Vineet Sarin, PhD, was appointed to the Board of The Patellofemoral Foundation, reflecting Kinamed's long-standing focus on anterior knee and patellofemoral care.
