Arthro-Positioning Systems Buyer Map

Houston Mahoney | Arthro-Positioning Systems | October 2026

As of 14 Oct 2026

Arthro-Positioning Systems makes the Velocity Bump knee and hip positioners for the operating room, with single-use pads, for knee replacement, ACL and sports surgery, trauma and robotic-assisted cases. The knee positioner sits under the drape, outside the sterile field, so it needs no sterile processing.

Your own site points to surgery centers, hospitals and busy orthopedic surgery practices as the buyers. This page maps the groups those buyers sit in, roughly how many there are, and who usually signs off on a new positioner in each.

Where your buyers sit

Groups drawn from the buyers your own site names. Counts are firms, not sites, and are banded on purpose. A health system that runs several hospitals counts once.

Group	Organizations in the US	Under 20 staff	20 to 99	100 to 499	500 or more
Freestanding surgery and emergency centers	about 6,200	about 4,200	about 1,400	about 220	about 360
General medical and surgical hospitals	about 2,600	not published	not published	not published	not published
Orthopedic and sports medicine surgery practices	no clean public count

US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.

Who usually signs off in each group

Titles vary with size. In a small surgery center one administrator often decides with the medical director. In a hospital the decision usually runs through a committee.

Group	Usually signs	Also in the room
Surgery centers	Administrator or Director of Nursing, with the medical director	The orthopedic surgeons who operate there, the materials manager
Hospitals	Director of Perioperative or Surgical Services, through the value analysis committee	Supply chain or materials lead, orthopedic service line director
Orthopedic surgery practices	Managing partner or practice administrator, where the practice runs its own surgery center	The surgeons who would use it, their physician assistants and surgical techs

What each group tends to weigh

Surgery centers run lean, with the same staff turning rooms all day. Your site makes the case that the knee positioner attaches to the table in the morning and stays for every knee case, with nothing to send through sterile processing. That speaks straight to the administrator and the nurse leader who own room turnover and staffing.

Hospitals usually route a new device through a value analysis committee, where perioperative, supply chain and finance leads weigh cost per case, staff time and what the device replaces. The surgeon asking for it starts the process, and the committee decides.

Surgeons with a heavy knee caseload, and programs running a surgical robot, care about holding the leg rigid while still moving it easily during the case. Your site notes the positioner is often used alongside surgical robots, which gives a reason to reach robotic joint programs by name.

Groups without a clean public count

Orthopedic and sports medicine practices share a public industry code with every other kind of physician office, so no single count fits the group. They are still worth working by name, because the surgeon is usually the one who asks for a new positioner.

The surgery center count shares its code with freestanding emergency centers, which do not operate on knees, so read that band as an outer limit.

Where to start

Put the on-site trial in front of surgery center leaders

Your site already offers surgeons a no-charge trial at their own facility. Taking that offer to surgery center administrators and nurse leaders, alongside the surgeons who operate there, gives the person who runs the room a reason to say yes.

Arm the surgeon for the hospital committee

In a hospital the surgeon who asks for a device starts the value analysis process. A short case on staff time, no sterile processing and all-day use helps that surgeon carry the request to the perioperative and supply chain leads who sign.

Reach knee programs that run a surgical robot

Robotic knee programs need the leg held rigid for accurate cuts, and your site notes the positioner is often used alongside robots. A program that has just added a robot is a timely place to start, with the joint replacement lead and the OR director.

Built from public federal registries and the company's own website, counts banded deliberately.
