Spur Ridge Capital, a Colorado-based independent sponsor investment firm, announced it has completed an investment in Axis Medical, a Denver-headquartered distributor of spinal implant and orthobiologic technologies serving surgeons and healthcare systems across Colorado and surrounding states.
Founded in 2014 by CEO Nick Iaderosa, Axis Medical has built its reputation as a trusted distribution partner for orthopedic and spine surgeons, hospitals, and ambulatory surgery centers. The company provides access to spinal implant and orthobiologic technologies and partners with leading device manufacturers seeking disciplined market access, strong surgeon relationships, and consistent commercial execution across hospital and ambulatory settings.
Axis Medical will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership team as part of the partnership. The company plans to pursue its strategy of becoming a leading multi-state independent distribution platform in the United States, focused on spinal implant and orthobiologic technologies. The investment is expected to support geographic expansion and selective acquisitions, while maintaining the company’s culture and service-oriented approach.
Spur Ridge Capital said it will back Axis Medical’s next phase of growth through investments in operational infrastructure, sales initiatives, and strategic expansion opportunities. The transaction represents Spur Ridge Capital’s first platform investment and aligns with its broader strategy of partnering with founders and management teams to build scaled, market-leading businesses across healthcare services, specialty distribution, and other essential industries.
Spur Ridge was supported in the transaction by Capitala Group, which provided debt financing and an equity investment alongside Spur Ridge Capital and its limited partner investors. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
