5 Small Medical Device Companies (Updated 2023)

Canada’s medical device sector may be one of the country’s best-kept secrets.

The nation’s medical device industry is primarily composed of small and medium-sized companies, but according to data from Statista, the sector is on track to be valued at US$9.93 billion in 2023. Looking further into the future, Canada’s medical device market is expected to grow at a compound growth rate of 5.34 percent to reach US$12.88 billion by 2028.

Medical devices include items like pacemakers, artificial heart valves, diagnostic and imaging equipment, in vitro diagnostics, dialysis equipment, hip and knee implants, synthetic skin, surgical tools, orthopedics, medical imaging and infusion pumps. Cardiology devices represent the largest segment of the market, with a projected value of US$1.46 billion in 2023.

1. Ventripoint Diagnostics (TSXV:VPT,OTCQB:VPTDF)

Company Profile

Market cap: C$39.99 million

Medical device company Ventripoint Diagnostics designed its Ventripoint Medical System Plus (VMS+) 3.0 to quickly produce 3D images of the heart; these images allow physicians to analyze all four cardiac chambers without the need for conventional ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging technology. VMS+ 3.0 is based on the company’s proprietary artificial intelligence reconstruction technology and can calculate volumes and ejection fractions for all chambers.

In August, Ventripoint announced a new product with its partner ASCEND Cardiovascular for improving diagnosis and monitoring of fetal, pediatric and adult congenital heart disease. The product integrates Ventripoint’s 3D Echo software application, which is powered by artificial intelligence, with ASCEND’s InView cardiovascular diagnostic viewer and reporting application.

2. Aurora Spine (TSXV:ASG,OTCQB:ASAPF)

Aurora Spine, another of Canada’s medical device companies, is focused on the spinal implant market and has a portfolio of minimally invasive, regenerative spinal implant technologies designed to improve spinal surgery outcomes. Its DEXA patient-matched implant technology has 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while its ZIP series of MIS implants has FDA indication clearance for lumbar spinal stenosis. Aurora Spine’s interlaminar single implant technology for motion preservation or fusion was issued a patent in mid-2022.

In June, Aurora Spine began patient enrollment in a multicenter study of its DEXA-C Cervical Interbody System, which is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures and is based on the company’s patented DEXA technology platform.

4. Salona Global (TSXV:SGMD)
