History

Founded in 1986, KMedic is a leading provider of orthopedic surgical instruments. KMedic has achieved this position by focusing its energies and wherewithal on orthopedic surgical instruments. This consistent focus and commitment enables KMedic to provide the orthopedic community with an ever-increasing selection of new instruments that conform to the highest standards of precision and reliability, consistency of pattern and lasting value.

KMedic supplies surgical instruments to leading orthopedic and spinal companies. In some relationships, we serve as a long-term strategic partner - developing entire instrument lines and custom instrumentation. In others we are the resource of choice for specific instrumentation - providing highly crafted and machined instruments in both small and large quantities. But whatever the association, our customers value our commitment to providing a total solution for their instrument needs.

In 1999 KMedic became part of Teleflex Medical, a division of Teleflex Incorporated, a worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of high-quality engineered surgical instruments, medical devices, and healthcare supplies. Teleflex Medical is an expert in cardiovascular, plastic, orthopedic, spinal, urology, gynecology and ENT surgical specialties. With 60 years experience in providing OEM's with innovative instruments and product management solutions, Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), our Fortune 1000 parent company, is a highly successful global corporation managed for long term growth and committed to supporting and growing this segment of its business.

In 2003 Beere and KMedic, leading suppliers of orthopedic and spinal surgical instruments, joined together as Teleflex Medical OEM Orthopedics to provide a single source for customers' instrument needs. Beere, known for its innovation and precision machined instruments, and KMedic, the industry leader in handcrafted instruments, bring a total offering of more than 5,000 high quality surgical instruments for orthopedic and spinal procedures. Our shared goal is to offer our customers the finest instruments and services at the best value.
