What believers are saying

  • Ampersand Capital invested in 2026, accelerating hiring, manufacturing, and global expansion.
  • Lexington says AEON now ships in nearly 40 countries from Bedford.

What critics are saying

  • Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and Ethicon attack AEON through entrenched hospital contracting.
