Vertos Medical

aid: vertos-medical
name: Vertos Medical
description: Vertos Medical, Inc. is a medical device company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California,
  that developed the mild (minimally invasive lumbar decompression) procedure for treating lumbar spinal stenosis caused by
  hypertrophic ligamentum flavum. The mild device kit removes excess ligament tissue through a 5.1 mm treatment portal with
  no implants, no general anesthesia and no stitches; it received FDA clearance in 2006 and CE mark approval in 2019. Stryker
  announced a definitive agreement to acquire Vertos Medical in August 2024 and completed the acquisition on October 1, 2024,
  folding the mild procedure into its Interventional Spine business. The vertosmed.com domain now answers every path with
  a site-wide HTTP 301 redirect to Stryker, and Vertos Medical publishes no developer program, API, SDK or machine-readable
  specification of its own.

  detail: Vertos Medical was acquired by Stryker on October 1, 2024, and vertosmed.com now answers every path — including
    /robots.txt, /llms.txt, /sitemap.xml and every /.well-known/* probe — with the same site-wide HTTP 301 to Stryker's Interventional
    Spine page, so no Vertos developer surface survives to profile.
