About 41medical
41medical AG, headquartered in Bettlach (Switzerland), develops, produces and markets medical devices for the human musculoskeletal system. The company offers proprietary and contract development, licensing of its own technologies, prototyping and series production in its own manufacturing and via a supplier network, as well as the MENTORA consulting program for start-ups and companies. Its core competencies lie in traumatology, spine surgery, sports medicine and orthopedics; further areas include CMF, dentistry, neurosurgery and pediatrics. The portfolio includes implants such as plates, nails, screws, cages, prostheses and suture anchors as well as surgical instruments. Materials used are titanium, PEEK and resorbable materials; through the sister company 41textile (founded 2026, Rüegsauschachen), braided medical textiles from yarn to complex braids are also available. The company acts as the legal manufacturer and is certified to ISO 13485 (MP2021) and ISO 13485 MDSAP. The Swiss m4m Center, a spin-off founded in 2019, makes additive manufacturing accessible to small and medium-sized MedTech companies; the Australian market is served through the Australian subsidiary 61medical.
