A privately held company located in Shelton, CT, Azary built a strong reputation offering regulatory and quality assurance outsourcing services for the medical device market. Orchid acquired Azary Technologies to boost its capabilities in quality system development and regulatory services, including 510(k) submissions, FDA compliance activities and Canadian compliance. Azary has been integrated into Orchid Design.

With MACDEE, Orchid added a whole new area of capability to its technology portfolio: plastics manufacturing. MACDEE had built its reputation on a foundation of injection molding, specializing in implant-grade UHMWPE. Seven presses, the ability to perform CNC machining of plastic implants and instruments, and several ISO Class 7 controlled environment rooms also accompanied the purchase.

Bio-Vac had spent 20 years building a worldwide reputation as a leading supplier of unique surface treatments for implant fixation, including both spherical bead and irregular particle coatings. With its acquisition of Bio-Vac, Orchid added significantly to its porous coating capabilities.

By 2005 when Orchid acquired Bio-Coat, the company had emerged as a true leader in the hydroxylapatite (HA) coating field. In addition, it was the only company in the world to offer medical implant vacuum plasma sprayed coatings, and the first to offer the only true, pure titanium, roughened surface for implants.

In order to address a need in the industry for contract design & development Unique Instruments started Unique Design. Unique Design offered comprehensive concept development and in-depth design services, as well as functional prototyping, qualification testing and pilot manufacturing.

After Stealth acquired Hy-Vac Medical Technologies, it changed its name to Stealth Medical Technologies to reflect its commitment to supplying the medical industry

Located in Collierville, TN, Hy-Vac specialized in the porous coating of orthopedic implants. Its acquisition broadened Stealth's already expanding capabilities. Hy-Vac became Stealth’s coating division.

One of the two original companies comprising the Orchid family, Unique Instruments brought over 25 years of superior craftsmanship to the partnership. Its attention to quality on implants, surgical cutting accessories and complex instruments offered a difference that surgeons could notice from traditionally used products.
