Western Microsurgical has acquired Q Surgical and Proficient Surgical, expanding its surgical microscope sales and service platform across the western and northeastern United States.
Western Microsurgical is a portfolio company of healthcare-focused private equity firm HealthEdge Investment Partners.
Q Surgical, founded in 2009, serves hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers across Northern California and Nevada.
Proficient Surgical was founded in 1996 and serves customers in the Northeast.
Both companies provide surgical microscopy equipment and related operating room products while maintaining relationships with surgical teams and equipment manufacturers.
Western Microsurgical also expanded its territory through the transfer of a Leica Microsystems sales and service contract previously held by Shawnee Medical in two states.
Following the transactions, the combined platform provides surgical microscope sales and service across 18 states.
The owners of Q Surgical and Proficient Surgical retained meaningful ownership positions in Western Microsurgical and will remain actively involved with the business.
Western Microsurgical said maintaining their leadership will help preserve established relationships with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and surgical teams while supporting continued expansion.
The acquisitions are part of the company’s strategy to build a national surgical microscopy platform through partnerships with experienced regional operators.
Western Microsurgical operates as an independent manufacturer’s representative and service organization for Leica Microsystems and supports surgical microscopy used in spine, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures.
The company also distributes surgical instruments, operating room products, and supplies from additional manufacturers.
HealthEdge Investment Partners has focused exclusively on healthcare investments since its founding in 2005.
