What believers are saying

  • April 1, 2026 UnitedHealthcare covered The Tether, expanding reimbursed scoliosis access.
  • February 26, 2026 activL limited launch broadened motion-preservation beyond Mobi-C.
  • September 2025 Accelus assets and April 2026 Waypoint strengthened Highridge's commercial spine toolkit.

What critics are saying

  • Tyler Gleaves sued Highridge over Mobi-C failures in Delaware Superior Court, December 2025.
  • The lawsuit alleges FDA reporting gaps and manufacturing violations, threatening Mobi-C credibility.
  • Highridge depends on surgeon adoption in narrow categories; a major adverse-event cluster could cripple growth.

What makes Highridge Medical unique

  • Highridge owns Mobi-C and activL, spanning cervical and lumbar motion preservation.
  • Its portfolio combines complex spine, MIS, and vertebral body tethering through The Tether.
  • April 2026 Waypoint GPS adds radiation-free pedicle guidance without robotics complexity.
