A healthy dose
of dissatisfaction

In a world where our lives and livelihoods depend more than ever on our hands, we can no longer afford to compromise on their function. That's why a seasoned team of medical device innovators came together to form Captiox. We believe the next generation of hand surgery should be built for the long term.


We've raised the standard of care before. Now we're prepared to raise it again.

The Future

To repair hands and arms, we sometimes bruise a few egos

Establishing the Juliette spacer as the new standard of care for CMC arthritis means challenging long-held assumptions about the procedures surgeons have trusted for decades.

And we aren't stopping at the thumb. New devices are already in development that we believe have the potential to improve the treatment of a wide range of hand and upper-extremity conditions.

the captiox way

Better interventions begin with different thinking

Team First

The best ideas come from the best people. That's why we've built a team of experienced innovators, surgeons, distributors, and partners dedicated to advancing patient care.

Live to Improve

Innovation starts with the belief that good enough isn't. From surgical devices and procedures to everyday decisions, we're constantly searching for a better way.

Agility is our Superpower

In a highly regulated, slow-moving industry, speed is our competitive advantage. We move quickly, adapt decisively, and don’t hesitate to turn ideas into action.

Own the Outcome

How we conduct ourselves matters as much as what we build. We earn lasting partnerships through honesty, transparency, and following through on our commitments
