Keeping surgeons and operating rooms equipped and ready.
We partner with owners of surgical distribution companies in the Pacific Northwest who want to build the region’s market leader together.
Three areas of service.
We distribute the equipment surgeons need, and provide the support their teams rely on. Here are the services our partners provide:
Surgical Equipment Sales
Perioperative equipment, devices, and instrumentation that enable and support the surgical team, whether in a hospital or ASC.
Capital Planning Partner
Works alongside OR leadership, biomed, and procurement through budget cycles and value analysis, not just at the point of sale.
Clinical Training & In-Servicing
Hands-on education that gets surgical teams confident on new equipment quickly and ensures correct use from day one.
Established Installed Base
Equipment in service across regional facilities, creating recurring replacement, upgrade, and service opportunities.
Equipment Maintenance
Installation, maintenance, repair, and support, so there's no unexpected OR downtime.
Installation
Ensuring operational readiness with site prep, equipment configuration, technical documentation, and compliance with safety standards.
Proactive Maintenance
Regularly scheduled maintenance of equipment and software to ensure optimal performance and patient safety.
Repair
Responsive technicians who inspect, test, and repair worn or damaged equipment, restoring performance or recommending replacement.
Surgical Implant Distribution
Orthopedic, neurological, and cardiac implants placed during surgery.
Trusted, Long-Tenured Relationships
Reps who are considered clinician partners, not salespeople, because of their expertise, insights, and reliability.
Diversified Product Selection
Broad offering of solutions across innovative manufacturers. Specialists who are current on the newest techniques and technology
Geographic Reach
Established coverage across the PNW, with manufacturer relationships positioned to expand into additional territories
High-stakes facilities that have to get it right.
Surgeons choose a rep they trust, and manufacturers choose a distributor who represents them well. We build around both relationships.
Hospitals and Health Systems
Implants, equipment, and service for inpatient and complex surgical cases across the region's hospital ORs.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers
Supporting the shift of orthopedic and spine cases into outpatient centers with implants, equipment, and case coverage.
Office-Based
Labs
Devices, equipment, and case support for vascular and interventional procedures performed in physician practices.
Critical Access
Hospitals
Equipment, service, and supply for smaller surgical programs that depend on regional coverage.
The partner we’re looking for.
If you’ve built a surgical distribution business and you’re thinking about the next chapter, we’d love to hear from you.
Earnings
$1.5 million or more of EBITDA.
The Work
Surgical equipment distribution with a service component. Open to implant distribution as well. Not medical supplies.
Distribution, Not Manufacturing
Strong physician relationships, service contracts, consignment inventory, and durable manufacturer agreements.
Pacific Northwest
Seattle-based, starting within 60 miles and open to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
If you’re close to this but not quite in it, reach out anyway. The list is a guide, not a filter.
Partnership, built around you.
Every owner has something they want out of the next chapter: retirement, a slower pace, capital to do something else, or the chance to keep building without carrying all of it alone. We want to know what yours is, so we can help make it a reality.
Our preference is that you keep a vested interest in how the business does from here, in whatever form fits your life: a continuing role, an advisory seat, or equity in what comes next. You know things about your surgeon relationships and your rep territories that don’t transfer in a diligence file, and the businesses that do best after a sale tend to be the ones where the founder still has a reason to care how it turns out.
That’s a preference, not a condition. Some owners want a clean handoff, and that’s a legitimate answer. We’d rather hear it early and build the transition around it.
Your role after close gets decided at the letter of intent, rather than at the end.
Backed by a partner with capital committed.
Surgical Northwest is backed by NextGen Growth Partners, a long-term partner with capital committed for both the acquisition and the growth that follows it. When we make an offer, the money is already there. After the first company, the plan is to add to it and become a market leader in the region.
