INVEST IN METRIC MEDICAL DEVICES, INC. TODAY!
Our founders are highly successful serial entrepreneurs who design implants to promote healing and decrease complications in orthopedic extremity injuries. These implants treat fractures and deformities to improve patients' lives.
The orthopedic extremity reconstruction market is projected to reach $6.5 billion, globally, by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.3%. The foot and ankle lower extremity segment, our primary focus, is predicted to experience the largest CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2030 and start with the surgical backlog created by the Covid-19 pandemic.*
During development and market trials, our current products generated over $10.5 million in revenue and we have two new next-generation products ready for full launch. We are currently developing our most disruptive product so far, The LINK™, a small bone-compressing external fixator. The market for minimally invasive surgical techniques is growing and is estimated to reach $94.4 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.7%.**
OVERVIEW
Metric is focused on creating innovative technology and products to address the serious and persistent issue in musculoskeletal healthcare of deformity correction, fracture repair, and delayed bone healing. We've developed implants that fixate bone fractures and apply forces to the bone to improve healing. Our SuperStaple™ is in-market, our SuperSTEP™ staple and SuperScaffold™ hammer toe implant are FDA cleared for the market, and we are in the process of developing a new product, the LINK™.
The LINK™ is a minimally invasive external fixation device that is not only compelling in its technology but has the potential to revolutionize how bone fractures are treated. We are designing the LINK™ to allow physicians to treat more patients in their offices because the LINK™ will reduce the need for open surgery. As a result, we believe patients treated with the LINK™ will be able to receive faster care with reduced healthcare costs while adding significant value to the physician's practice.
The Problem & our Solution
Current treatment methods for osteoarthritis, deformities such as bunions, and small bone fractures, often involve open surgery and have high complication rates ranging from 13-56% (Source). Utilizing NASA’s discovery that a lack of mechanical loading degrades bone, our bone fixation implants change shape to provide compression to improve patient outcomes.
Our upcoming disruptive product, the LINK™, takes this even further. The LINK™ will provide all of the biomechanical and bone-compressing properties proven by our founders and validated through clinical experience, using a revolutionary patent pending external fixation system. We believe our proprietary, minimally-invasive approach will allow for many bony procedures in the foot, ankle, and hand to be performed in-office and without open-surgery. We are prepared to create a business shift from hospital to physician's offices, resulting in earlier treatments, reduced costs, and fewer complications.

The image above on the right is a pre-production photograph of the Link™. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
The Market & our traction
The orthopedic extremity reconstruction market is projected to reach $6.5 billion, globally, by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.3%. The foot and ankle lower extremity segment, our primary focus, is predicted to experience its largest CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2030, owing to baby boomer needs and patients increased awareness about the benefits of lower extremity reconstruction devices. Metric has established initial U.S. distribution of its products and seeks StartEngine investors to help drive value through building a growing and effective sales force.
During product development, we have generated $10.5 million in sales, with a gross profit exceeding 85%. Our technologies are protected by 13 patents in the U.S. with others issued in the UK, Germany, and France, as well as additional patents pending. We have multiple new products ready for full market launch, including the SuperSTEP™ staple and SuperScaffold™ hammer toe implant. Recently, multiple leading physicians have joined us as advisors to develop and advocate for our upcoming product, the LINK™.
why invest
Metric's founders have built a bone-compressing staple company and sold it with a strong return to its investors. Now, we envision Metric Medical Devices to keep building on this experience, launching a broad range of implants to dominate the orthopedic extremity market with minimally-invasive bone compressing products. With next-generation products in hand and disruptive technologies in the pipeline, we believe we are well-equipped and in a position to make that happen.
We have the innovative, patented technology and proven sales record to bring shareholder value in this fast-growing, multi-billion dollar orthopedic extremity market. Join Metric® as we provide improved minimally invasive care to patients around the world.
Metric Medical Devices, Inc., designs and sells innovative minimally invasive products and technologies for the orthopedic extremity market. Our mission is to become leaders in transforming the musculoskeletal repair standard of care, through the development and commercialization of bone fixation implants that actively change shape to compress the bone to stimulate bone growth and enhance healing.
Dr. Fox conducted pioneering research in bone healing and osteoporosis while at Southwest Research Institute, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute and made this a foundational element in two of the companies he founded, BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME) and Agile Manufacturing, Inc. Building products and infrastructure with contract service and Federal, State, and County grant revenue he lead BME in the introduction and establishment of the U.S. market for shape-changing bone-compressing nitinol staples. This success resulted in the sale of BME to Depuy/Synthes, Johnson & Johnson Companies.
A prolific inventor he has had over 35 patents issued in the U.S. and Europe and published tens of articles. Skilled at medical product development, he and his teams have received 20 FDA clearances to market and commercialized the orthopaedic products stemming from his inventions. He has held engineering, advisory board, and adjunct faculty positions over the last 30 years at the institutions listed above as well as the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
Dr. Fox founded and leads Metric Medical Devices, Inc. to broaden and advance the shape-changing bone-compressing orthopaedic implants he pioneered at BME. These next-generation nitinol staples and finger and toe fixation implants enter the market Dr. Fox established. These products are being followed by a disruptive minimally invasive external bone fixator based on these same implant shape-changing concepts. This LINK™ External Fixator will allow bone fixation and compression without open surgery. This is a disruptive concept in bone fixation and may, due to its minimally invasive technique, allow surgeons to treat more bone fractures in their office versus the hospital.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
