Paragon 28, Inc.

Paragon 28, Inc. is a leading medical device company specializing exclusively in the foot and ankle orthopedic market. Established in 2010, the company is dedicated to improving patient outcomes through innovative surgical solutions, including implants, instrumentation, and biologics. The name "Paragon 28" reflects this focus, with "28" representing the number of bones in the human foot.

The company's product portfolio includes a wide range of systems designed to address various foot and ankle conditions:

• Forefoot Systems: Including the Gorilla® Precision MTP Plating System and the Phantom® Lapidus Intramedullary Nail System, designed for procedures involving the forefoot.
• Fracture Fixation Systems: Such as the Gorilla® Ankle Fracture Plating System and the Baby Gorilla® Plating System, intended for the stabilization of fractures in the ankle and foot.
• Flatfoot Systems: Including the Gorilla® Universal Plating System and the JAWS Great White Staple System, addressing deformities like flatfoot.
• Ankle Replacement and Fusion Systems: Offering metallic and plastic implant components, as well as fusion plating systems, aimed at treating severe ankle arthritis and other degenerative conditions.
• Charcot Systems: Including the Joust Beaming System and the Gorilla® Medial Column Plating System, designed for the treatment of Charcot foot, a condition affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the foot.
• Orthobiologics: Such as the V92 Cellular Bone Matrix and the PRESERVE Bone Wedges, intended to enhance healing and support bone regeneration.

Paragon 28's commitment to innovation is evident in its development of the SMART28℠ Case Management Portal, a cutting-edge platform that leverages AI to coordinate patient-specific surgical plans. This reflects the company's dedication to advancing the science of foot and ankle surgery.

In April 2025, Paragon 28 was acquired by Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., a global medical technology leader. This acquisition is expected to enhance Paragon 28's ability to deliver innovative solutions to the foot and ankle orthopedic market.
