Following its
$66M Series C fundraise last March, Osso VR recently announced it has doubled in size over the last
year, and expects to double its footprint again by 2023.
Acknowledged
as the largest and fastest-growing virtual reality company in healthcare, Osso
VR also surpassed an exciting milestone, having
recently crossed the 200-employee threshold.
According to Road to VR, “the platform, which was
created to provide surgeons with an immersive, repeatable environment to safely
practice their craft, is now used by more than 20 teaching hospitals and eight
top medical device companies across 11 countries.”
The company's modules cover multiple specialty areas, such as orthopedics, neurovascular surgery, and robotics, amongst others. In an interview last week to MIXED, Osso VR CEO Justin Barad revealed that the “VR training has made available more than 200 surgical training modules. By the end of the year, Osso VR plans to simultaneously develop a hundred more modules. There will also be team training so that surgeons around the world can train together.”
Osso VR’s Approach to Transformative Change
Osso VR targets both
healthcare professionals and medical device companies with specific value
propositions: “Learn faster. Perform better.” for the former and “Help your customers
meet the pace of change” for the latter.

As a result, in
addition to pure surgical training and assessment, Osso VR is also used by leading global medical device companies.
These include Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, and Smith +
Nephew. These companies use Osso VR
to train surgeons in the use of their products.
According to
Barad, Osso VR’s revenue scales with
the number of training sessions medical technology companies conduct through
the platform.
Ultimately,
the startup’s vision is for Osso VR’s
training to become a mandatory part of surgeon certification and
recertification.
