Neo Medical

Founded in 2013 by Vincent Lefauconnier and Jonas Larsson – both with extensive experience in medical technology – the company set out to address the complexities, inefficiencies and risks of traditional spinal surgery. The result is a fully integrated surgical platform that combines intelligent single-use instruments, universal implants and real-time augmented reality software.

One system. Multiple benefits.

At the heart of Neo Medical's innovation is the Neo Universal™ platform, designed to streamline surgical workflow and improve clinical outcomes. Compatible with all major surgical approaches – open, minimally invasive and hybrid - the system is suitable for all thoracolumbar indications, from trauma to degenerative conditions. 

Its measurable benefits include:

• Reduced surgical time (up to 29%)

• Significantly lower implant failure and infection rates

• Fewer revision procedures

• A simplified surgical set-up with just five instruments and 31 screw types

With its sterile, pre-packaged, single-use kits, the platform reduces complexity and sterilisation requirements, aligning with hospitals' efficiency and sustainability goals.

International growth – with focus and foresight

Having secured a strong foothold in the DACH region, Neo Medical is now strategically expanding into the United States – a market where outpatient spine surgery is growing rapidly. By 2029, Ambulatory Surgery Centres (ASCs) are expected to perform the majority of spine procedures. Neo Medical's off-the-shelf system is ideally suited to this shift and initial pilots in California have already demonstrated clinical success and operational fit.

Intelligence in action: ADVISE™

Beyond hardware, Neo Medical's ADVISE™ platform provides real-time intra-operative surgical guidance powered by artificial intelligence and augmented reality. It enables data-driven decision-making during the procedure, improving precision and adaptability.

Additional software modules are in development, including a pre-planning tool and an Apple Vision Pro-based navigation system, making the platform one of the most advanced and future-proof solutions on the market.

Building a scalable, sustainable business

Neo Medical operates a hybrid business model combining product sales and SaaS licensing. With a strong base of repeat users - over 90% in key markets – and a track record of over 40,000 surgeries in 300 institutions, the company scales with discipline. Its expansion is supported by a strong partner ecosystem and a robust intellectual property portfolio, including 85 issued patents.

Recognised potential 

The SEF.Growth expert panel highlights Neo Medical's clear product-market fit, clinically validated impact and scalable approach as key strengths. The platform's alignment with value-based care and ambulatory surgery trends positions the company well for sustainable growth.

The experts also identified potential in diversifying the leadership team and strengthening the US commercial organisation – both areas the company is actively addressing.

Neo Medical is reshaping the global spine surgery landscape through a combination of smart technology, clinical rigour and scalable infrastructure. Its platform is not just a tool – it is a new standard for patient-specific, data-driven and efficient surgical care.
