Swissness.
Precision.
Fascination.

The company SpineSave has dedicated itself to motion preservation implant systems and offers to the surgeon solutions, which on one hand are based on proven methods and on the other hand are featured with stepwise innovations.

THIS IS SPINESAVE

Pioneers in motion preservation

Rolf Diener und Stefan Freudiger are pioneers in providing dynamic spine systems.

Rolf Diener was one of the first having been able to manufacture the conical high-strength pedicle screws.

Stefan Freudiger was among the first who have developed dynamic stabilisation systems.

SpineShape System IV is the fourth system for which Stefan Freudiger is listed (co-) inventor.

Fascination and pioneering spirit

SpineSave combines 35 years of engineering experience in biomechanics with 25 years of experience in producing medical devices. Stefan and Rolf as the founders combine Swiss quality and precision thinking with fascination and the necessary pioneering spirit for the dynamic stabilisation of the spine.

Stefan Freudiger

CEO

Stefan Freudiger is a biomechanical engineer and a fan of the spine as an anatomical structure. He developed SpineShape by building on his longstanding experience with medical implants.

A company story with personality

Stefan Freudiger and Rolf Diener share another passion in addition to their expertise in the field of medical technology: Flying. In his professional career Stefan has worked as a aeronautical engineer and also worked on airplanes in his spare time, while Rolf flew as aerobatics pilot in his early 30’s.  It was at one of Rolf’s aerobatics events where they have met for the first time through mutual friends.

Only years and a few grey hairs later did it happen that their paths crossed again. Stefan had decided to launch an innovative medical product on the market and was looking for the right partner. When pitiching his business plan to Rolf, innovation, competence and enthusiasm convinced in equal measure and laid the foundation for many years of cooperation.

SpineSave GmbH and SpineSave AG – Together for SpineShape

In order to establish SpineSave more firmly within the European Union, SpineSave GmbH, based in Wohltorf/Germany, was founded in 2021. The legally independent SpineSave GmbH has a small branch in Embrach/Switzerland. SpineSave GmbH is managed by the managing director of SpineSave AG, Mr. Stefan Freudiger.

Since 2021, SpineSave GmbH has been the responsible manufacturer of the SpineShape System-IV implant system. Most operational activities, e.g. development, quality control and storage, are delegated to SpineSave AG via a quality assurance agreement.

In Switzerland, SpineSave AG acts as the Swiss representative (CH-REP) for the SpineShape System-IV implant system.

The SpineShape System-IV includes surgical instruments. SpineSave AG is the responsible manufacturer of these surgical instruments. In the European Union, SpineSave GmbH takes on the role of European authorized representative (EC-REP) for these surgical instruments.

Ethics & history

From the beginning, SpineSave has considered itself a partner of the operating physician and feels committed to the patient, whose disease and impairments shall be improved or compensated by SpineSave products. At this point, our credo reads: We do not bring products to market, which we would not implant into our own body or the body of our relatives.
