Why SurgEx

A complete portfolio. Without the GPO moat.

Four or five large manufacturers dominate every orthopedic category in the United States — not because their products are better, but because contract access is the moat. SurgEx exists to give distributors something the dominant brands cannot: choice, transparency, and a portfolio that competes on merit.

◐

Curated, Not Crowded

A hand-picked roster of FDA-cleared manufacturers across cortical fixation, suture anchors, interference screws, soft tissue repair, and bone biomaterials. Every product earns its place.

⟶

Drop-Ship, Direct

Orders flow direct from manufacturer warehouses to your dock. Our Columbia, Missouri facility serves as backup. No bloated middle layer. Faster than buying from China — without the friction.

$

Transparent Pricing

Verified distributor pricing visible behind a single login — not held hostage by the quote-cycle. Net 30 standard, B2B BNPL available. Volume matters. The catalog tells you what it costs.

The Catalog

Built around procedures, not silos.

Find what you need by the procedure your surgeons are doing — not by which manufacturer happens to make it. The full sports medicine and orthopedic surgical workflow, in one place.

SurgEx Marketplace

Used equipment, honestly priced. No vultures.

Hospitals and surgery centers regularly cycle expensive capital equipment — and they often sell it for pennies on the dollar to brokers who resell at three or four times what the seller received. The Marketplace cuts out the middle layer. ASCs, hospitals, and OR buyers can list what they want to sell, post what they need to find, and connect directly with verified counterparts.

For Manufacturers

A new front door to the US market.

Most independent manufacturers face the same wall: distributors won't carry a single-SKU line, GPO contracts are closed, and US sales infrastructure costs more than the entire R&D budget. SurgEx is the alternative — a coordinated commercial channel that does the hard work of distributor recruitment, credentialing, and order fulfillment.

  • No upfront fee, no exclusivity required
  • Small administrative override (1–3%)
  • Drop-ship or warehouse fulfillment
  • Distributor & surgeon marketing support

For Sales Representatives

Your customers ask for alternatives. Now you have them.

You sell for Arthrex, or Smith & Nephew, or Stryker. You know the product. You know the surgeons. And every week, someone asks if there's another option — for cost, for sizing, for a product their primary line doesn't carry. SurgEx is the answer you've been missing: a curated catalog of FDA-cleared alternatives you can offer alongside your primary line, without leaving your job and without conflicts of interest.

01

Keep your primary line

SurgEx is non-exclusive. Sell what you sell today — and add what your customers actually need beyond that. Complementary, not competitive, to your core relationship.

02

Independent rep ID

Every SurgEx-affiliated rep gets a unique ID. Orders from your accounts are tracked to you. Commission is paid directly. Designed to keep activity discreet, subject to your own employment agreement.

03

Plug-and-play tooling

Catalog, technique guides, samples, regulatory documentation — all surgeon-ready. No need to learn a second sales process or build a second relationship from scratch.

04

Territory override built in

If a distributor of record already owns a territory where you sell, our wholesale pricing includes a small override paid directly to them. You serve your surgeon, the local distributor still gets paid, no channel conflict. Everyone wins.

05

Compliant by design

SurgEx products are FDA-cleared and labeled to meet hospital vendor credentialing standards. Reptrax, Vendormate, Symplr, GHX — all supported.

06

Surgeon-led growth

You bring the surgeon relationship. We bring the product, the regulatory cover, and the supply chain. The case gets done; your account stays with you.

No commitment. We review applications within 5 business days.

"Surgeons ask me for things my company doesn't make. For years I had to tell them no — or lose the case to someone else. SurgEx is the first time I can say yes without leaving my job."
